  CONGRATULATING JOE LUNA ON HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE GALESBURG POLICE 
                               DEPARTMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 19, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Officer Joe 
Luna, who is retiring from the Galesburg Police Department after 26 
years of service.
  Since becoming an officer over two decades ago, Officer Luna has been 
an honorable steward of the city of Galesburg and a dedicated public 
servant. As a detective, he investigated cases leading to criminal 
prosecution, and as Galesburg School District 205's School Resource 
Officer, he was an invaluable member of the community. Anyone who has 
walked the halls of Galesburg High School understands the impact 
Officer Luna had on students of all backgrounds. During his tenure, he 
kept our children safe, listened to their stories, offered advice, and 
was an ever-friendly face to every student without reservation.
  It is because of determined and compassionate leaders such as Officer 
Luna that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional 
District. Madam Speaker, I would like to, again, formally congratulate 
Officer Joe Luna on his well-deserved retirement and thank him for his 
26 years of service to our community.
