  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask for the 
House's attention today to recognize Byron Pigg who is retiring from 
the position of Public Safety Director with the East Alabama Water, 
Sewer and Fire Protection District.
  Mr. Pigg is retiring after 33 years and 10 months of service. Prior 
to his service as a full-time employee, Byron served as a volunteer 
firefighter. He served as fire chief for 25 years of his full-time 
employment.
  During his tenure as fire chief, Byron worked to significantly 
upgrade the fire department. In 2005, he oversaw the construction of a 
new headquarters fire station. He received over $1 million in grant 
money to help improve the fire department. He also has served in 
numerous local, regional and statewide organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, we join his family and friends in celebrating Mr. Pigg's 
retirement and wish him the very best.
