  Mr. BURCHETT. Madam Speaker, today I recognize FES Security as it 
celebrates its 50th anniversary. In April 1972, Frank Whitley started 
Frank's Electrical Service to meet the electrical needs of his 
community. Frank enlisted the help of his son, Dale, on the weekends 
and the work inspired Dale to earn a degree in electronics so he could 
help run the family business.
  Frank and Dale soon noticed a growing demand for home security, so 
Dale took the lead in getting Frank's Electrical Service involved in 
the industry. This was a wise decision. The business quickly switched 
to specializing in home security and was rebranded as FES Security in 
the process.
  Dale Whitley, now the owner of FES Security, is building on the 
successes of the company his father started. The business keeps up with 
modern technological advancements and FES Security offers digital 
security systems, products that are controllable through mobile 
devices, and cameras with video recording capabilities. The company 
also offers fire and gate systems, as well as home theatre and surround 
sound installation.
  Although the scope of FES Security's work evolved throughout the 
years, its commitment

to East Tennesseans stays the same. Dale and the folks at FES Security 
pride themselves on the fact that monitoring rates have not increased 
once throughout the business's history, and they continuously strive to 
provide the kind of high-quality customer service you can always expect 
in East Tennessee.
  Congratulations to everyone at FES Security for making this family-
owned and operated business a success. I thank them for their work to 
provide important security services to our community.
