                       A TRIBUTE TO LARRY WOHLERS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 25, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Larry Wohlers of Council Bluffs, Iowa on his retirement 
after 34 years of service with the Council Bluffs Fire Department.
  Larry began his public service career in the Council Bluffs Public 
Works Department before he joined the local fire department. He was 
hired in September of 1983 as a firefighter. Larry then began moving 
through the ranks as a captain, assistant chief, and was ultimately 
promoted to Fire Marshall in 2008. Council Bluffs Fire Chief Justin 
James said, ``It's going to be a huge loss for the department. Larry 
has done a great job.''
  Mr. Speaker, Larry has made a difference in his community by helping 
and serving others. It is with great pride that I recognize him today. 
I ask that my colleagues in the Unites States House ofRepresentatives 
join me in congratulating him for his accomplishments and in wishing 
him nothing but continued success.
