  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Police 
Corporal Michael Nelson for his many years of service to the Dearborn 
Police Department. Corporal Nelson recently retired after thirty years 
of exemplary work with the department.
  Prior to his service in the Dearborn Police Department Corporal 
Nelson served three years in the United States Army and was deployed to 
Grenada. Corporal Nelson began at the Dearborn Police Department in 
1989 as an Animal Control Officer. In 1994, Corporal Nelson became a 
certified Motor Carrier Officer and a regional instructor specializing 
in commercial vehicle enforcement. In this role, he trained hundreds of 
police officers and created a safer environment for everyone in the 
Dearborn community. In 2003, he was promoted to the rank of Corporal 
and was placed in charge of the Animal Control and Parking Systems 
Operations.
  Corporal Nelson served the Dearborn community in various roles for a 
total of thirty years. His commitment to protecting the Dearborn 
Community has impacted hundreds of his fellow officers and residents. 
His work training officers in commercial vehicle enforcement has been 
crucial to the continued safety of Dearborn. His exemplary service to 
the community stands as a role model of the dedication, sacrifice, and 
commitment of our police officers. His dedicated leadership will be 
missed, but we wish him good health and every happiness in his 
retirement years.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the thirty 
years of service of Police Corporal Michael Nelson to his country and 
to the Dearborn, Michigan community. His commitment to public safety is 
worthy of commendation.
