  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor my good 
friend, Constable David Hill, for his fifty plus years of tireless 
service to the residents, businesses, and families of the Eighth 
Congressional District of Texas.
  As a sixth grade student in Palestine, Texas, David first set his 
sights on a job in law enforcement after a career day presentation by 
the Border Patrol at his local elementary school. In 1967, David 
fulfilled this goal when he began working in Huntsville, Texas at the 
Texas Department of Corrections as a correctional officer. Shortly 
thereafter, David decided to join the Department of Public Safety 
(DPS), eventually becoming the second Trooper ever assigned to 
Magnolia. At first, David only planned on staying in Magnolia for a 
year, but he quickly fell in love with the area and decided to make 
Magnolia home--beginning his fifty-year relationship with the community 
he loved so dearly.
  After some praying, in 1982 David made the life-changing decision to 
leave his position as a State Trooper to run for Constable of Precinct 
5 in Montgomery County. Due to a policy by the DPS, David was required 
to resign from his current position to run for public office. However, 
David won the election for Constable--an office he has served in 
admirably since 1983.
  Through his job and his personal life, David has shaped the Magnolia 
community for the better. During his time as constable, David held 
himself to the highest of standards and always allowed his Christian 
principles to guide his actions. His selfless service and the positive 
impact he has made on the Magnolia community has certainly not gone 
unnoticed. The impact of David's time of service will be felt for years 
to come, and I know his presence as Constable will be greatly missed.
  David is excited to start his well-deserved, hard-earned retirement. 
He plans on traveling with his wife and visiting every state. The 
Magnolia community was blessed to have David for the past fifty years, 
and we are happy to see him begin this new chapter of his life.
  I am proud to join his colleagues, friends, and family members in 
thanking David for his years of public service and wishing him the best 
as he begins his retirement.
