  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation today to pay tribute to an outstanding citizen from my 
district. Fire Captain Frank Nemick recently announced his retirement 
from the Pueblo Fire Department. For his selfless dedication and many 
years of service, I am honored to pay tribute to Frank here today.
  From the time he was a young boy, Frank always wanted to be a 
firefighter. He joined the Pueblo fire department in 1964 and served at 
Station 4 in Bessemer. Over the years, he

worked hard and quickly advanced up the ranks. Frank has dedicated his 
life to helping the citizens of the Pueblo community. Whenever someone 
was in trouble or in need of assistance, Frank was always ready to come 
to their rescue. His enthusiasm and dedication are infectious, and he 
has influenced several members of his family to follow him into a 
career as a firefighter.
  Mr. Speaker, for thirty-nine years Frank Nemick selflessly served his 
community and his neighbors, and he will retire as a Captain from 
Station 10 at Pueblo Memorial Airport. His hard work and dedication are 
truly an inspiration. As he prepares for his retirement, I am honored 
to join with my colleagues in thanking Frank for all his hard work and 
in wishing him all the best in the years to come.
