             CONGRATULATING MIKE FLETCHER ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Mr. ELLZEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ELLZEY. Mr. Speaker, I come to the House floor today to 
congratulate Mike Fletcher, the store director of the H-E-B in 
Corsicana, Texas. After 27 years, Mike did something we all hope to do 
one day, and that is retire.
  Though not a Corsicana native, Mike has come to call Corsicana home. 
He grew up in Waco, and lived there until he was about 20, and then 
attended Texas A&M University and while attending school, started his 
career in the grocery industry.
  What H-E-B and Mike have done for Corsicana and the surrounding 
community over the last 19 years cannot be captured in a 1-minute 
speech. But what I can say is that Mike has served his community. He 
kept the doors open, the shelves stocked, and the community fed during 
the COVID-19 pandemic and the winter storm that hit the great State of 
Texas.
  He and his wife, Deedy, have been an integral part of Navarro County 
since they moved there in 2002. Mike has served on the Salvation Army 
board, the United Way board of Navarro County, been a member of the 
Rotary Club, volunteered on disaster relief teams in West, Texas, when 
the fertilizer plants exploded in 2013, and much more.
  He might be retired from working at H-E-B, but he is not finished 
serving his community.
  So, Mike, congratulations on your retirement and thank you for your 
continued dedication to Corsicana and Navarro County.
