  Ms. MORRISON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize and honor Chief 
Greggory Pederson for more than 51 years of extraordinary service to 
the Mound community and the people of Minnesota.
  Chief Pederson joined the Mound Fire Department in 1975 as a 
volunteer firefighter and dedicated the next five decades of his life 
to protecting and serving others.
  Over the course of his remarkable career, he served as captain, 
training officer, assistant fire chief, emergency management director, 
and ultimately fire chief.
  Throughout his career, Chief Pederson answered more than 15,400 calls 
for fire and emergency assistance. His steady commitment helped to 
shape generations of firefighters and to strengthen the Mound community 
for decades.
  Chief Pederson's career reflects the very best of public service, 
selflessness, professionalism, and a deep dedication to his neighbors 
and community.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Minnesota, I thank Chief 
Pederson for his incredible career and lasting legacy. I wish him all 
the best in his well-earned retirement.
