  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Inspector Henry 
Kaden on his retirement from the Union City Police Department after 27 
years of serving and protecting the public.
  Inspector Kaden began his career with the Union City Police 
Department in 1976. In 1984, he was promoted to detective in the Crime 
Prevention Bureau, where he served until he became sergeant in 1985. In 
1988, Inspector Kaden became commander of the Crime Prevention Unit, 
and, in 1989, he was promoted to lieutenant. After serving as 
lieutenant for eight years, he was promoted to captain in 1998, and 
finally, earned the rank of inspector in July, 2002.
  Before his service with the Department, Inspector Kaden served in the 
United States Army from December 1966 to December 1968. From May 1967 
until May 1968, during the Tet Offensive, Henry Kaden served in 
Vietnam.
  Inspector Kaden has been the recipient of a number of awards and 
recognitions for his outstanding service to the public. In 1989, he 
received the McGruff Award for the National Night Out Program; in 1990, 
he was named Police Officer of the Year by the Knights of Columbus; in 
1991, he was named a National Night Out ``All Star''; and, from 1991 to 
1993, his National Night Out Committee was awarded National Honors for 
representing a top state in the country for neighborhood safety.
  Inspector Kaden has received four Medals of Valor and two Life Saving 
Awards from the Union City Police Department; seven Excellent Police 
Service Awards; two Honorable Service Awards; a Wound Medal, and two 
Unit Citations for his work on the Crime Prevention Bureau and as 
Detective Bureau Commander. The State of new Jersey awarded him with a 
Distinguished Service Medal and the Vietnam 25th Anniversary 
Commemorative Medal in 2002.
  Inspector Kaden is a graduate of Emerson High School in Union City, 
New Jersey.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Inspector Henry 
Kaden for his 27 years of service with the Union City Police 
Department.
