  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Captain Aaron Martinez on his retirement and thank him for 30 years of 
service with the California Highway Patrol.
  Captain Aaron Martinez entered California Highway Patrol Academy on 
January 2, 1990 at the age of 21. During this time he successfully 
graduated the Academy and was promoted to the rank of Officer. His 
first assignment was the Santa Cruz area where he completed his field 
training and was assigned to road patrol for six years. Captain 
Martinez spent two more years at the Officer rank working in the El 
Cajon and Rancho Cucamonga Areas. He was then promoted to the rank of 
Sergeant in 1998. He served at this rank for three years and was 
assigned to the Santa Fe

Springs, Temecula, and Riverside areas. In July of 2011, Captain 
Martinez was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and assigned to the 
Rancho Cucamonga area. He spent seven years at the rank of Lieutenant 
before being promoted to the rank of Captain. Captain Martinez received 
his promotion to Captain in May of 2018 and was assigned to his current 
Command, the Barstow Area Office. Captain Martinez will be retiring 
with 30 years of service devoted to the State of California.
  I would like to thank Captain Aaron Martinez for his many years of 
service to the people of the Great State of California, and on behalf 
of the United States House of Representatives, I wish him the best in 
his retirement.
