                        Tuesday, March 21, 2023

  Mr. ALFORD. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor to recognize a true 
American Patriot, Mr. Dick Mann of Webster County, Missouri.
  Mr. Mann began his career of public service in the United States 
Marine Corps, where he served in active duty from 1968 to 1974. From 
then until 1992, he served in the Army Reserves as a medic in a 
preventative medicine unit.
  He continued his service to his community while serving as an 
Environmental Public Health Specialist and Emergency Planner from 2007 
to 2013 for the Webster County Health Unit. In these roles, Dick was 
responsible for food and drinking water safety and quality, developing 
response and mitigation plans for large scale public health 
emergencies, and child daycare facility safety for Webster County 
residents. Since 2015, Dick has served as a member of the Board of 
Trustees for the Webster County Health Unit.
  Additionally, Mr. Mann has served as a community mentor for families 
struggling with addiction, the American Red Cross representative for 
Webster County, and as a member of the Local Emergency Planning & 
Disaster Management Committee.
  I stand here today to congratulate Dick Mann on his retirement, to 
extend my gratitude for his many years of exceptional service to our 
community and to our great Nation, and to wish him the best of luck in 
his next endeavor.
