  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Senior Chief Petty 
Officer Christopher Gibbs for his duty and service to Pinellas County 
and to our country.
  On May 4, 2016 Officer Gibbs returned home after a year-long 
deployment and 21 years of military service. While enlisted, served as 
a Senior Chief Master at Arms and eventually earned the title of Senior 
Chief Petty Officer. We are eternally grateful for his service 
overseas.
  Since returning home, Officer Gibbs continued his dedication to 
serving others through his work as an officer with the Pinellas Park 
Police Department.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Senior Chief Petty Officer 
Christopher Gibbs for his service to our community and this country. 
Pinellas Park is a safer place with him protecting us and we are very 
grateful and appreciative of his efforts. I ask this body to join me in 
recognizing Officer Gibbs' efforts and expressing our appreciation for 
his service.
  May God bless Officer Gibbs and his family.
