  Mrs. LURIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize Chief 
Jeffrey Wise's 40 years of service with Norfolk Fire-Rescue. His 
selfless work, bravery, and dedication have made the City of Norfolk a 
better place.
  The health of our community depends on public servants. I want to 
thank Chief Wise for dedicating his life's work to the safety, health, 
and wellbeing of his neighbors.
  Chief Wise has been an effective leader. He has spearheaded 
innovations in the quality and type of service Norfolk Fire-Rescue 
provides, and has devoted himself to the mission of ``preventing harm 
in the community and maintaining the public's trust.''
  His dedication to the mission is inspiring, and I am confident that 
he has improved the lives and safety of many in the community.
  I congratulate Chief Wise on his retirement. I commend him for his 
selfless work, and I want to thank him for faithfully caring for the 
City of Norfolk for 40 years. I am confident he will continue to make 
an impact on the community.
