  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the lifelong career 
of a great Fire Chief, Mike Farber. In a 40-plus-year career, Mike has 
selflessly risked his life as a firefighter for the people of Arizona. 
His courageous leadership and expertise was reflected in his role as a 
serving member of the Mesa Community College Curriculum Committee and 
Fire Science Advisory Committee. For three consecutive years, Mike 
facilitated a Leadership Academy and brought numerous recognized 
leaders from the fire service to share their wisdom and to help mentor 
the district's officers and staff.
  Mike was also well known for his extensive experience and educational 
background. For more than 20 years, Mike has taught courses at Mesa 
Community College and Central Arizona Community College in Tactics & 
Strategy, Hydraulics, Supervision, Algebra, and Communication. His 
commitment and work ethic to civic duty and his community is a 
characteristic that all Americans should strive for. I believe that 
Fire Chief Mike Farber is a great example of what being an American is 
about. His impact and involvement will not be forgotten by his local 
community and state.
  Madam Speaker, I express a sincere form of gratitude to Fire Chief 
Mike Farber, and I encourage my colleagues to join me in celebrating a 
successful career and legacy as a valuable protector to the people of 
Arizona.
