  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr Speaker, I rise today to recognize Captain Dave 
Cresico of the Ypsilanti Township Fire Department in Ypsilanti, MI

[[Page E1089]]

on the occasion of his retirement. His tremendous dedication to 
protecting our community is worthy of commendation.
  Born and raised in Ypsilanti Township, Captain Cresico joined the 
Fire Department in 1993. He consistently moved up the ranks of the 
department, advancing to Lieutenant in 2010 merely three months before 
becoming Fire Captain later that year. Members of Captain Cresico's 
crew salute his legacy of selflessness, describing him as someone who 
always puts the lives of others ahead of his own. Over the course of 
his extensive career, Captain Cresico served as a powerful force for 
good in our Ypsilanti Township community. He has saved countless lives, 
risking his own safety to rescue citizens from burning homes and acting 
quickly to administer life-saving medical care under immense pressure. 
Captain Cresico exemplifies the Ypsilanti Township Fire Department's 
dedication to providing excellence in all aspects of fire safety, and 
his steadfast commitment to protecting the township and its residents 
is laudable. Effective and devoted public servants like Captain Cresico 
are the backbone of this nation, and I am proud to have had such an 
admirable individual leading our Ypsilanti Township community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Captain Dave 
Cresico for over 30 years of exemplary service. He has selflessly 
worked for the benefit of Ypsilanti Township in his role as a Captain 
of the Fire Department, and his heroic legacy will continue to inspire 
our community for decades to come. I sincerely thank Captain Cresico 
for his three decades of dedication, and join with his family, friends, 
and colleagues in extending my best wishes to him in retirement.
