  Ms. CARAVEO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Chief Gordon 
Olson on his well-deserved retirement from the City of Thornton's Fire 
Department.
  Chief Olson dedicated 40 years to protecting our community. I know I 
join every resident of Thornton in deep gratitude for his service and 
sacrifice on our behalf.
  His accomplishments, dedication, and tireless labors in pursuit of 
protecting lives, will be remembered fondly for years to come. Our 
first responders put their lives on the line each day and for that we 
are all grateful.
  From COVID-19 to wildfires, emergency workers have continued to 
answer the call to service and their efforts should never go unnoticed. 
Chief Olson's achievements are numerous, and he is an inspiration to 
those who may wish to follow in his footsteps.
  As he enters a new phase of his life, I wish him the best in all his 
future endeavors.
