                         HONORING GLENN RITCHEY

  (Mr. FINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Mr. Glenn 
Ritchey, a distinguished Floridian whose lifelong dedication to civic 
leadership, business excellence, and community service has left an 
indelible mark on Daytona Beach, the State of Florida, and the Nation.
  Mr. Ritchey is the former mayor of Daytona Beach, serving from 2006 
to 2012. He contributed his time to a wide range of civic, educational, 
and charitable organizations. His service demonstrates a steadfast 
commitment to progress and public good.
  His accomplishments have been recognized with dozens of prestigious 
awards, including the United Way's Herbert M. Davidson Award for 
Outstanding Community Service and the NAACP Humanitarian of the Year 
Award. In 2019, he was honored for the 18th consecutive year as a GM 
Dealer of the Year, one of only three dealers in the Nation to hold 
that distinction.
  Glenn Ritchey is also a proud family man, with four children, nine 
grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to honor Glenn Ritchey for a life 
dedicated to service, leadership, and community. He embodies the very 
best of American citizenship, and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing his remarkable contributions.
