                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 13, 2018

  Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and 
congratulate William ``Mike'' McMichael, a dedicated public servant, 
upstanding Delawarean, and recipient of the National Association of 
Emergency Medical Technicians' (NAEMT) 2018 Emergency Medical Services 
Advocate of the Year Award.
  For more than 30 years, Mike's experience as a skilled ER Patient 
Care Technician for the Delaware City Fire Company has saved countless 
lives and provided comfort to those experiencing unimaginable tragedy 
and trauma. He is a man who genuinely cares about his community and the 
well-being of those who live in it. Through Mike's three decades of 
hard work, he has day-in and day-out made a difference for Delaware 
City and touched the lives of countless First Staters in need.
  As the Delaware State Advisor for NAEMT and member of the Delaware 
State Emergency Medical Services Association, he has been a powerful 
voice on behalf of the broader EMS (emergency medical services) 
community in our state. His leadership and commitment to our EMTs is 
evident through his tireless advocacy work at the local, state and 
federal levels of government. Mike's passion and selflessness is a 
testament to his service and character.
  Mike is an extraordinary ambassador for the EMS community and a 
dedicated civic leader. The First State is lucky to have Fire and EMS 
professionals like him who put their lives on the line every day. I 
want to extend my heartfelt gratitude and sincerest congratulations to 
Mike for receiving the 2018 EMS Advocate of the Year Award and for his 
years of service to the people of Delaware.
