  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, this past December, I had the honor of 
attending the dedication of the Avalon Public Safety Complex to a 
longtime friend of mine, Mayor Martin Pagliughi, or as I know him, 
Marty. Marty's commitment to the fire department and his lifelong 
dedication to public service to Avalon have been truly commendable. 
Marty has been a guiding force for the community and his tireless 
efforts have proven great results. In 2020, Avalon benefited 
substantially from his leadership, saving $1.6 million on flood 
insurance--a testament to his commitment to the town's well-being. 
Furthermore, since 2012, he has served as the Cape May County Office of 
Emergency Management Coordinator, demonstrating his unwavering 
dedication to safety and preparedness. In honoring Mayor Pagliughi and 
his legacy, we celebrate a man whose tireless service has enriched the 
lives of Avalon residents and set a shining example for us all. The 
Avalon Public Safety Complex now proudly bears the name of Avalon's 
former Mayor Martin Pagliughi, and it was my pleasure to attend the 
event. It was an honor to work with Mayor Pagliughi over these past few 
decades and this momentous event serves as a fitting conclusion to his 
remarkable 36-year career in public service.

God Bless Marty and God Bless the United States of America.
