                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SANDER M. LEVIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 21, 1999

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Battalion Chief Dennis Foster 
and Battalion Chief Dale Monnier who will be honored on their 
retirement from the Sterling Heights Fire Fighters Union at their 
Annual Dinner/Dance on September 24,1999.
  It is my privilege to recognize these two firefighters for their 
outstanding contributions to public service. Beginning their service in 
1974, Battalion Chiefs Foster and Monnier continually sought to further 
their knowledge and experience in the field of public safety, always 
committed to providing their community with the best service.
  Their participation in community events have made these gentlemen an 
integral part of their city, and their acts of heroism have made 
Sterling Heights a safer and better place to live.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join with me, the citizens of 
Sterling Heights and the Fire Department in recognizing these 
outstanding firefighters for the dedication and accomplishments they 
have provided to the people's welfare in Sterling Heights. I wish them 
good health and happiness in their future endeavors.
