  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Lieutenant 
Brian Giddis for over 25 years of service in the Grand Traverse County 
Sheriff's Office. Throughout his time working in the department, Brian 
has displayed professionalism and respect for law and order while 
working to protect his community and its citizens.
  Upon graduating from Montague High School in 1987, Brian pursued 
higher education at Delta College. After ranking 3rd in his class for 
Basic Police Academy Training at the college, Brian served as a part-
time patrolman at the Hart and Montague Police Departments until 
becoming a deputy of the Grand Traverse County Sheriffs Office in 1997. 
Committed to his work, he has had a lasting impact on the local 
community and the department.
  Deserving of unwavering respect and recognition, Lieutenant Brian 
Giddis' decorated career underscores his faithful commitment to the 
people of Grand Traverse County and epitomizes the ideal police 
officer. Grand Traverse County, and all of Michigan's First District, 
owe Brian our praise and gratitude for his time and devotion to his 
county over the past 25 years as a public servant.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Lieutenant Brian Giddis for 
his decades of service to the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office. 
His continued commitment to and sacrifice for our communities is 
something we must not take for granted. On behalf of Michigan's First 
District, I extend my gratitude to Brian and his family and wish them 
the best in their future endeavors.
