                     HONORING CHIEF DANIEL SPIEGEL

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor Chief Daniel Spiegel 
on his retirement from the Wildwood Fire Department.
  Daniel spent 28 faithful years with the fire department, where he had 
served as chief since 2016. Daniel has the distinct honor of holding 
every rank in the fire department. Daniel's father also served as fire 
chief in Wildwood, the second-ever father-son chief in the department's 
history.
  Daniel served in the New Jersey Task Force 1 Urban Research and 
Rescue and responded to the September 11 terrorist attacks, searching 
for survivors. He was the team leader for the Cape May County Regional 
Urban Search and Rescue Team, which serves all of Cape May County.
  Danny was always focused on training. He trained thousands of 
firefighters in our entire region.
  He is planning to spend more time with his wife, daughter, and two 
stepsons in retirement.
  I thank Daniel for his service; his community thanks him for his 
service; and his country thanks him for his service.
  Daniel, may God bless you. You are truly one of our heroes.
