                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 24, 2014

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to offer my 
congratulations to Middletown Township Police Sgt. Mark Wert for 33 
years of outstanding service to the people of my home community and its 
police department.
  As always, the community owes a debt of gratitude to those first 
responders who, each day, selflessly protect our lives and property. 
Sgt. Wert began his career on July 15, 1981, moving to squad supervisor 
and then administration overseeing the Traffic Safety Unit. He also was 
the instructor for Emergency Vehicle Operations and one of the 
department's first Field Training Officers. His dedication is 
recognized by the responsibilities he took on within the police 
department and also in the community. He was a director of the 
Transportation Management Association of Bucks County and active in the 
community's volunteer fire service--Skyline Fire Association and 
William Penn Fire Co.
  Sgt. Wert's retirement begins on August 1, 2014 and so, on behalf of 
the grateful community where I live and that I represent in this House, 
I extend sincere appreciation to Sgt. Mark Wert and wish him many 
healthy and happy retirement years.
