            TRIBUTE TO DETECTIVE CORPORAL MARK W. THALHAMMER

 Mr. GARDNER. Mr. President, I wish to honor Mark W. 
Thalhammer, Pueblo, CO, police detective corporal, and recognize his 
retirement after 34 years of service to his community and to his 
country. Detective Thalhammer has served with distinction in a variety 
of roles for the Pueblo Police Department. During his tenure, Detective 
Thalhammer has served as a police officer, a criminal investigator, a 
narcotics enforcement officer assigned to a U.S. Drug Enforcement 
Administration multiagency drug task force, a gang reinforcement 
detective, a felon enforcement officer, and a tactical officer assigned 
to high-risk law enforcement endeavors. His dedication to law 
enforcement for more than three decades has left an indelible mark on 
the community, the country, and the Pueblo Police Department.
  Please join me in honoring Pueblo Police Department Detective 
Corporal Thalhammer for his devotion to his community and our State's 
law enforcement profession. His years of courageous service and 
commitment deserve great recognition and admiration.
