IN HONOR OF KEVIN WILSON, INCOMING PRESIDENT OF THE DELAWARE VOLUNTEER 
                         FIREMEN'S ASSOCIATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 25, 2009

  Mr. CASTLE. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today to pay tribute to Kevin Wilson, the incoming President of the 
Delaware Volunteer Firemen's Association (DVFA). President Wilson began 
his career at the Clayton Volunteer Fire Company No. 1, beginning as a 
junior member, and moving up to Chief before taking on leadership roles 
in Kent County and the State of Delaware.
   President Wilson's life has been dedicated to protecting others. 
Along with his distinguished career in the Fire Service, President 
Wilson served with the Delaware State Police as a Trooper Medic. He is 
currently an investigator for the Delaware State Police's Sex Offender 
Division.
   During the four decades that President Wilson has served his 
community, he has been recognized by his peers for heroic work. These 
honors include being named Clayton Fire Company Fireman of the Year in 
2006 and co-winner of the State Fireman of the year in 1997.
   I commend President Wilson on his exceptional career of tireless 
dedication and selflessness. DVFA is fortunate to have such a man 
filling this important role. I am confident that President Wilson's 
experience and leadership will help DVFA continue on the path of 
exceptional service for which they are known across our State.
