                        Wednesday, March 8, 2023

  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize Lieutenant Michael 
Terch for his 25 years of service with the Garden City Fire Department 
in Michigan's 12th District Strong.
  Lieutenant Terch began his career with Garden City in 1998 when he 
split his time working for multiple municipal fire departments until he 
joined the Garden City Fire Department as a full-time firefighter and 
paramedic. Lieutenant Terch was promoted to Engineer in 2012 and to 
Lieutenant in 2019. In 2020 he completed the EMS Fire Staff and Command 
class.
  In addition to his service to the public, Lieutenant Terch served on 
the IAFF Local 1911 Union board in many roles over the years. He has 
served as a trustee, secretary, and 9 years as the union president 
having been elected twice. He is the founding member of the union's 
charity golf outing that ran successfully for 17 years and has been 
involved with the IAFF MDA's Fill the Boot charity event.
  Please join me in recognizing Lieutenant Michael Terch for his 25 
years of outstanding service to the people of Garden City in Michigan's 
12th District Strong as we wish him well on his next endeavor.
