  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize Battalion Chief 
Kenneth Murray for his twenty-six years of service with the Dearborn 
Fire Department in Michigan's 12th District Strong.
  Battalion Chief Murray started with Dearborn Fire Department in 1997 
as a firefighter. He steadily rose through the ranks, serving as 
engineer, lieutenant, and captain before he was promoted to battalion 
chief in 2020. Over the course of his career, Battalion Chief Murray 
has garnered numerous awards and accolades for his meritorious service, 
including Lifesaving, Unit Award, Perfect Attendance, and Safe Driving. 
He was also recognized as the Dearborn Exchange Club's Fire Officer of 
the Year in 2016. On top of his numerous duties with the Fire 
Department, Battalion Chief Murray has prioritized his education and 
pursued specialized training in collapse, rope, and trench rescue.
  In short, Battalion Chief Murray has been an outstanding public 
servant to the communities served by the Dearborn Fire Department. 
Please join me in recognizing his twenty-six years of commitment to 
protecting our families' safety across Michigan's 12th District Strong 
as we wish him well in his retirement.
