  Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lieutenant 
Olan Armstrong on his retirement from the City of Arvin Police 
Department after 43 years of service.
  Born and raised in Arvin, California, Lieutenant Armstrong has 
dedicated his life to serving his community. While attending Arvin High 
School, Lieutenant Armstrong was as an active member of the Arvin 
Police Explorers program which prepares youth for law enforcement 
careers through assistance with community events. After graduation, 
Lieutenant Armstrong went on to lead a successful career within the 
Arvin Police Department while dedicating countless hours to various 
volunteer organizations.
  During his career, Lieutenant Armstrong worked as both a volunteer 
ambulance driver and volunteer fireman for the City of Arvin and 
surrounding areas. He has also coached and umpired the Arvin Little 
League, served as coordinator for the Arvin Police Explorer Program, 
and served as board member for the Bear Mountain Recreation Department.
  Lieutenant Armstrong truly dedicated his life to volunteerism and 
community service. He made great efforts to serve the City of Arvin 
throughout his lifetime and has remained an integral part of the 
community.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to 
join me in recognizing Lieutenant Olan Armstrong for his lifetime of 
service to the City of Arvin, California, and congratulating him on his 
recent retirement.
