TRIBUTE TO RICHARD FORRISTALL
______
HON. DAVID YOUNG
of iowa
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, April 20, 2016
Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate Richard Forristall of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on his recent retirement as a Deputy with the Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Department. For more than 33 years, Deputy Forristall has served Pottawattamie County citizens. He began his career in court security, later joining the road division where he became a K-9 handler.
Deputy Forristall said, ``When I started, I was one of the only K-9 handlers in the area. I helped other surrounding counties, the Iowa State Patrol, and the Department of Transportation.'' He said he enjoyed meeting and helping people. Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker said, ``He's done a great job. He's done a lot of things for us. You hate to see him go, but I know he's done a great job for the citizens of Pottawattamie County.''
Mr. Speaker, Deputy Forristall made a difference by serving others. It is with great honor that I recognize him today. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating him for his accomplishments. I thank him for his service to Pottawattamie County and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
