                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 16, 2013

  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the retirement of 
Henry Posey from the Memphis Fire Department.
   Mr. Posey has devoted his life to a career of public service. As a 
fire fighter and the retiring Division Chief for the Memphis Fire 
Department, he worked to keep communities in the Eighth District of 
Tennessee safe for over 36 years. In this time, he has truly made a 
difference in people's lives, and in some cases his efforts have meant 
the difference between life and death.
   I am proud to join Mr. Posey's family, friends, and colleagues in 
congratulating him for his many years of service. He deserves our 
deepest thanks and appreciation.
