  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Richard Luthcke on his 
retirement from the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department.
   Mr. Luthcke served with the Pocono Mountain Regional Police 
Department for 23 years, retiring in February 2013. For 10 of those 
years, he was a detective in the homicide department, helping to find 
justice for murder victims and answers for their families and friends. 
Before working for the department, Mr. Luthcke served in the United 
States Navy for four years. Presently, he works for the Stroud Area 
Regional Police Department as a homicide detective on cold case murders 
in Monroe County.
   Mr. Speaker, for 23 years Mr. Luthcke served to protect the Pocono 
Mountain community from danger and find justice for victims of 
homicide. Therefore, I commend Richard Luthcke on his retirement from 
the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department and wish him the best of 
luck in his future endeavors.
