______

HON. DEBBIE DINGELL

in the house of representatives

Tuesday, November 23, 2021

Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Fire Engineer Radoslav Marinkovich of the Dearborn Fire Department. His honorable years of service to our community is worthy of commendation.

Fire Engineer Marinkovich retired on November 23, 2021, after serving over two decades with the Dearborn Fire Department. He has been a trusted member of the department since July 1998, when he began his career as a Firefighter I. He rose to level of Firefighter II in March 2005. Assigned to Fire Station 3 on Wyoming Avenue, he was promoted to position of Fire Engineer in December 2007.

The recipient of numerous awards, Fire Engineer Marinkovich is an example to his peers. He is a three-time recipient of the Meritorious Company Commendation and a nine-time winner of the Safe Driving Award. He earned the Unit Commendation Award For June 25, 2021, Catastrophic Flooding, and was a part of the invaluable team that assisted the citizens of Dearborn in a time of crisis and need. To top off an award-winning career, he was given the 2021 Meritorious Service Award For Over 20 Years of Exceptional Service. When faced with a challenge, he does not faulter. Fire Engineer Marinkovich has been a stellar member of the department for the past twenty-three years and his lasting commitment to serving others has made him stand out among his fellow firefighters.

Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Fire Engineer Radoslav Marinkovich for a career of exemplary service to the Dearborn Fire Department. I join with Fire Engineer Marinkovich's family, friends, and colleagues in extending my gratitude to him for his honorable service in protecting our community and thank him for his role in serving the people of the City of Dearborn for the past two decades.
