    RECOGNIZING DALE HAMILTON'S 60 YEARS OF SERVICE TO NORTH CONWAY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHRIS PAPPAS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 18, 2023

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dale Hamilton 
on his retirement from the North Conway Fire Department after an 
impressive 60-year tenure as a firefighter. His position as the 
longest-serving member of the department speaks to his tireless 
dedication to maintaining the safety of the North Conway community, and 
his love for his work is an inspiration to those he serves with and 
those he strives to protect. His distinguished lifetime commitment to 
public safety is vital to keeping New Hampshire safe, and I commend his 
years of service to North Conway and the Granite State.
  A longtime resident of North Conway, Dale joined the North Conway 
Fire Department in 1963, and has remained a fixture in the department 
ever since. Dale's experience in all positions, including operator of 
Engine 3, the ladder truck, and dispatcher, has made him an integral 
member of the North Conway Fire Department. Through his kind demeanor, 
dedicated work ethic, and his love of his craft, Dale has become a 
beloved and renowned member of the North Conway community. While we can 
never fully repay our debt of gratitude to Dale, we recognize his 
decades of service and immeasurable impact.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I want to congratulate Dale Hamilton on his well-deserved 
retirement and the work he has done to protect and serve the North 
Conway community. He will serve as a shining example for future North 
Conway firefighters, and I look forward to seeing what his next chapter 
holds. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
