BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. MORRISON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize and honor Chief Greggory Pederson for more than 51 years of extraordinary service to the Mound community and the people of Minnesota.

Chief Pederson joined the Mound Fire Department in 1975 as a volunteer firefighter and dedicated the next five decades of his life to protecting and serving others.

Over the course of his remarkable career, he served as captain, training officer, assistant fire chief, emergency management director, and ultimately fire chief.

Throughout his career, Chief Pederson answered more than 15,400 calls for fire and emergency assistance. His steady commitment helped to shape generations of firefighters and to strengthen the Mound community for decades.

Chief Pederson's career reflects the very best of public service, selflessness, professionalism, and a deep dedication to his neighbors and community.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Minnesota, I thank Chief Pederson for his incredible career and lasting legacy. I wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement.
