  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Captain Dan Stephan 
on his retirement from the Madison, Indiana Police Department following 
45 years of public service.
  Captain Stephan joined the Madison Police Department on August 29, 
1976. Daniel ``D.J.'' Stephan rose through the ranks and was appointed 
Captain on July 9, 2000. Captain Stephan is Madison's longest serving 
merit police officer.
  Throughout his many years with the Madison Police Department, Captain 
Stephan served as a firearms instructor and won several ``top gun'' 
awards in competition. After working 44 city parades, Captain Stephan

served as the Grand Marshall of this year's Madison July 4th Parade.
  My friend, Chief of Police John Wallace noted that D.J.'s ``fellow 
MPD officers will greatly miss him.''
  Captain Stephan is a dedicated public servant and highly regarded by 
all. I thank Captain Stephan for his service to Madison. I wish him all 
the best in a well-deserved retirement.
