“On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, it is an honor to recognize Mr. Jeffrey L. DeWitt's service to the Fort Worth Fire Department and his impact on keeping our community safe for the past 37 years. I wish him and his family the very best as they celebrate his retirement. ____________________”
“As an instructor for both new recruits and continuing certification courses for commissioned firefighters, his positive impact extends to other fire departments across the State of Texas. Now, as he retires from Station 35 in the critical Fort Worth Alliance Airport Corridor, Mr. DeWitt holds the distinction of being the department's senior-most engineer and a certified Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) firefighter. Mr. DeWitt truly exemplifies the mission of the Fort Worth Fire Department. Throughout [[Page E302]] his many years of service, he has worked tirelessly to protect others before himself. He will undoubtedly continue to embrace the spirit of a dedicated first responder and an engaged member of our Fort Worth community. I know he is looking forward to well-earned time with his family and first grandchild.”
“DeWitt moved to Texas as quickly as he could. He became one of the first paid firefighters with the Keller Fire Department in the early 1980s. He joined the Fort Worth Fire Department on May 6, 1988, as a full-time commissioned firefighter in Class 41. Over his career, he served in four stations, including the historic Downtown Station 1, where he was assigned on December 12, 1997. The following year, he was promoted to Engineer at Station 1. During this time, he had the honor of driving ``The Big One,'' the largest engine at the Fort Worth Fire Department for 13 years--a fact his young daughters proudly shared, saying, ``Dad drives the big truck downtown.'' In addition to his many years with the Fort Worth Fire Department, he has spent nearly two decades instructing classes at the Fire Academy at Tarrant County College.”

CRAIG A. GOLDMAN of texas in the house of representatives Tuesday, April 8, 2025 Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Jeffrey L. DeWitt on his retirement from the Fort Worth Fire Department after 37 years of dedication and service to the City of Fort Worth. Founded 152 years ago, the Fort Worth Fire Department is a nationally recognized agency with a rich history of serving and protecting the 13th-largest city in the nation. Born and raised in Upstate New York, Mr.”
“The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo represents the cultural heart of Fort Worth, starting from the early days on the Chisholm Trail driving cattle to now being a symbol of where ``The West Begins.'' Mr. Barnes has worked tirelessly to preserve Fort Worth's connection to its origin, believing that without it, it will just be another city on the list of many in Texas. On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, it is an honor to recognize Mr. Brad Barnes's humble commitment to the Fort Worth community. I wish the best to him and his family as they celebrate his retirement and continue to be committed members of the community. ____________________”
“Showcasing both professional rodeo athletes and thousands of kids from across Texas, this event continues to reflect Fort Worth's rich cultural heritage. In his many years with the Stock Show and Rodeo, Mr. Barnes volunteered before becoming a full-time employee in 2004. During this time, the rodeo moved from the historic Will Rogers Coliseum to Dickies Arena. Payout winnings for contestants grew to 1.5 million dollars and expanded the attendance rate exponentially. Always looking ahead, he has prepared the initiative to renovate the Will Rogers Coliseum in pursuit of preserving its historical significance to Fort Worth. Since 1985, premiums, scholarships, and grants for Texas youth have accumulated over 100 million dollars. Under the leadership of Mr. Barnes, the 2025 Junior Sale of Champions alone raised more than 10 million dollars.”

“On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I am proud to recognize Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD for earning the prestigious Caudill Award. This recognition is a testament to the district's dedication to excellence in education. The community is fortunate to have such an innovative facility that supports students, educators, and administrators alike. The Caudill Award is a well-deserved honor and a valuable addition to an already thriving school system. [[Page E300]] ____________________”
“Housing 17 administrative departments and 150 employees, this campus sets a new standard for Texas public school infrastructure. These remarkable centers for education are named in honor of esteemed local educators who have dedicated decades of their lives to the district's students. The administration building bears the name of Dr. Jim F. Chadwell, who served as superintendent for 14 years. Under his leadership, the district passed two bond measures totaling over $1 billion and expanded from 23 schools serving 16,600 students to 31 schools with a student body of 23,800. The Discovery Lab buildings honor Jane Weaver and David Prince, two of the district's distinguished educators, who have devoted decades of their careers to teaching outdoor education.”
“Chadwell Administration Building and the Discovery Lab Learning Center received this award for their exceptional planning and innovative design in fostering an excellent learning environment. Designed by VLK Architects, an innovative firm based in Fort Worth, these buildings have been recognized for their nature-infused, forward- thinking architecture. Situated near Marine Creek Lake, the facilities seamlessly incorporate the surrounding natural landscape, featuring trails through scenic woods, prairies, and waterways. At the Discovery Lab, students can explore the environment firsthand, collect scientific samples, and bring them back to the labs for further study. Additionally, the administrative building represents a significant upgrade, consolidating multiple smaller structures into one state-of- the-art facility.”

“Through established flight schools and specialized maintenance facilities, the airport plays a vital role in addressing workforce challenges within the aviation industry. Flight training programs such as Delta Qualiflight and Rich Aviation inspire future pilots to pursue careers in aviation. Additionally, the airport partners with the U.S. Navy through the Helicopter Institute to train new helicopter pilots. On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I am proud to recognize Fort Worth Meacham International Airport on this significant milestone. Since its inception, the airport has been a cornerstone of the City of Fort Worth and continues to evolve to meet the needs of its citizens. I look forward to witnessing its continued innovation and dedication to advancing aviation in Fort Worth. ____________________”
“Meacham Airport was the site of the first airline passenger flight out of Texas in 1928 and became home to a regularly scheduled airline service in 1929. Meacham Airport has played a crucial role in connecting businesses and institutions across Fort Worth's expanding landscape. It has served as a gateway for both domestic and international travelers seeking direct access to Fort Worth's thriving districts. Over the past century, Meacham Airport has been a vital airfield for the U.S. Navy during World War II and has welcomed notable figures such as Elvis Presley and multiple U.S. Presidents. Today, it remains a strategic hub near the historic Stockyards, Downtown Fort Worth, and the Texas A&M Research Center. Continuing its legacy in aviation, Meacham Airport now serves as a premier training ground for the next generation of pilots.”

CRAIG A. GOLDMAN of texas in the house of representatives Tuesday, April 8, 2025 Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas.

“[[Page E298]] On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I am proud to recognize the University Place Book Club for its significant contributions to the City of Fort Worth. The members' passion for literature and commitment to enhancing educational resources for children have left a lasting impact on the community. I extend my best wishes to all its members as they continue the legacy of this historic book club. ____________________”
“At its inception in the 1920s, the wives of several faculty members and administrators at Texas Christian University gathered in what is now known as Robert Carr Chapel to discuss literature and music. Throughout its storied history, its members have explored topics spanning music, art, and literature. Additionally, the University Place Book Club has made a significant impact on future generations by promoting literacy through initiatives such as hosting storytime sessions and providing financial support to schools in Fort Worth. The women of this club attribute its longevity to their enduring love of literature, which continues to be passed down through generations. Their dedication has not only enriched the lives of members but has also brought the gift of reading to many children in the community.”

Beyond being a place for social connection, the club has played a vital role in the cultural and civic development of the community.”
“Competing at the varsity level as a freshman while excelling academically is truly extraordinary. Having played soccer since the age of three, Emery's passion and commitment have been evident throughout her journey. I wish her the best of luck in her collegiate pursuits. I am confident she will excel at all that is put before her. ____________________”
“This season, the Aledo Ladycats capped off their impressive 15-4 record as District Champions. Emery exemplifies the true meaning of a student-athlete.

Additionally, she was named Female Student of the Year as a freshman, serves as president of Leading Ladies at Aledo High School, and holds the position of secretary in the National Honor Society.
