                      Wednesday, January 11, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it's my honor to recognize Dale Clarmont 
for his 35 years of service in the Cheboygan County Sheriffs 
Department. Over his time working for the people of North Michigan, 
including more than 2 decades as Sheriff, Dale has shown considerable 
poise and professionalism while working to make his community a safer 
place.
  Upon graduating high school in 1979, Sheriff Clarmont started his 8-
year military career with the United States Navy as an Aviation 
Electronics Technician, later returning to the Cheboygan area to raise 
his family. Dale soon started his time in the Cheboygan County Sheriffs 
Department as a dispatcher in 1987, quickly cementing himself as a key 
part of the department and an ideal candidate for county Sheriff in 
2000. He would go on to hold this position for 22 years, until 
announcing his upcoming retirement in January of 2023.
  Throughout his distinguished career, Sheriff Clarmont prioritized his 
community's safety and well-being above all else. Dale's longtime 
devotion to our country is commendable, and the impact of his work on 
his fellow officers and the people of the Cheboygan cannot be 
overstated. We owe Dale our utmost gratitude for his continued effort 
to better himself, his colleagues, and the community he has served for 
the past 35 years.
  Mr. Speaker, it's my honor to recognize Dale Clarmont for his decades 
of combined service to the United States Navy and the Cheboygan County 
Sheriff's his local Sherriff's Department. On behalf of Michigan's 
First District, I extend my gratitude to Dale and his family and wish 
them the best in their future endeavors.
