50 years. His duties have ranged from Assistant Engineer to Fire Chief, 
in 1997 and 1998. He has been named Fireman of the Year twice, in 1966 
and 1998. For 50 straight years, Gregory has been named ``A Top Ten of 
Middletown Fire Company responders.'' When not fighting fires, he owns 
and operates a contracting business in Middletown Township and sits on

putting the safety of others before himself. Mr. Speaker, it is an 
honor to recognize Gregory Reitze's 50 years of service to Middletown 
Township. On behalf of the 7th District of Pennsylvania, we thank him
