  Mr. DAVIDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize a valued, longtime 
resident in the Eighth District of Ohio, Daniel French. This year, Dan 
achieves an impressive milestone of 50 years of service at French Oil 
Mill Machinery Company in Piqua.
  This manufacturing company has been a staple in Miami County for 121 
years. It was founded by Dan's grandfather. From being a machine tool 
operator to eventually president, chairman, and CEO, for half a 
century, Dan's efforts have improved the lives of employees, 
colleagues, neighbors, and fellow Ohioans.
  The enterprise has experienced great success under Dan's stewardship. 
Every expansion and hiring campaign has blessed the City of Piqua with 
jobs and commercial investment. His business expertise is renowned by 
his peers, who have benefited from his service in various industry 
organizations, including the Ohio Manufacturers' Association.
  Professional accolades aside, countless Piqua and Miami County 
nonprofits and community groups have been recipients of Dan's time, 
leadership, and philanthropic support. Further, a grateful nation 
thanks Colonel French for his 28 years of combined honorable service in 
the United States Air Force and Air Force Reserve-including service in 
Vietnam.
  Southwest Ohio is a better place thanks to people like Dan French, 
his wife Margaret, and their family. Congratulations on an impressive 
50 years of service at French Oil Mill Machinery Company.
