                       Thursday, January 25, 2024

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
service of Captain Phillip Mike Broderick, a firefighter from Des 
Moines who lost his brave battle with liver cancer on January 14, 2024.
  Prior to spending nearly 16 years with the Des Moines Fire 
Department, Mike spent over two decades serving our nation in the 
United States Army. He was a man who put service over himself for his 
entire life, and his commitment to ensuring safety for his community 
and his nation was unwavering. Those who knew him personally shared he 
was an incredible friend, a devout husband, a loving father, and 
someone who served his country and community with purpose and care. 
Mike Broderick leaves behind his wife Emily and daughters Grace, 
Ireland, Piper, and Cambell.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Captain 
Mike Broderick's commitment to our Nation and the entire Des Moines 
community. I join his family and those closest to him in mourning his 
loss. May his memory not be forgotten.
