  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in tribute to Melvindale-
Dearborn Firefighter Michael Brannon as he retires after eighteen years 
of service.
   During his eighteen years of public service, Firefighter Michael 
Brannon has garnered accolades for his bravery and dedication to safety 
along the way. In 2001, Brannon joined the City of Melvindale's Fire 
Department. From there, he was quickly promoted to Firefighter II, and 
ultimately, Firefighter III. A hardworking public servant, Michael 
Brannon has been acknowledged for his military service, exceptional 
driving record, and has spent countless hours advancing his 
certification, including rope rescue operations. Beyond this, Michael 
Brannon has been recognized for his courage in the line of duty both in 
military service and as a firefighter receiving awards like the 
Meritorious Company Commendation and the Fire Chief Unit Commendation.
   Firefighter Michael Brannon has spent nearly two decades tirelessly 
working to ensure safety for the community. Please join me in saluting 
him for his years of public service as we wish him well on his 
retirement.
