  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Corporal Peter 
Patzer who retired from the Lower Gwynedd Township Police Department in 
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, after twenty-seven years of 
outstanding service.
  Mr. Patzer served in the United States Navy from 1965 through 1967. 
He served on the USS Forrestal CVA-59 Mediterranean Fleet and was 
honorably discharged in 1971 with the rank of E-3. He returned home and 
began his tenure with Lower Gwynedd as a police officer in 1974 and was 
later promoted to Corporal in 1987.
  Corporal Patzer served as the Traffic Safety officer for Lower 
Gwynedd Township. He has been recognized by his community for his fine 
work and service.
  I am pleased to honor Corporal Peter Patzer on his retirement. He has 
made significant contributions to his community and is deserving of the 
praise he has received from members of his community.
