  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding constituent from my district, Patrick Daniel McKee. After 
29 years of service with the Plumstead Township Police Department, 
Corporal McKee is retiring. Born and raised in Plumstead, Patrick 
graduated Central Bucks East High School and then began working in the 
auto repair field, finding such success that he owned and operated his 
own repair and service station. In December 1992, Patrick decided to 
attend the Montgomery County Community College Police Academy. By April 
1993, he was hired by his hometown police department in Plumstead 
Township as a full-time, sworn police officer. Throughout his time with 
the department, he served as a Detective and attended numerous training 
programs related to investigations, including the highly regarded FBI 
Intercounty Detective Training Program in 1998. By 2004, Patrick was 
promoted to the rank of Corporal and given the responsibility of 
overseeing a squad of patrol officers. Patrick also served as one of 
the department's Firearms Instructors and armorer, training law 
enforcement officers in the proper use and safe handling of firearms.
  Throughout Corporal McKee's career, his commitment to service has not 
gone unnoticed. Members of the community writing to the department have 
expressed thanks for Patrick's gracious, friendly, and respectful 
demeanor both in and out of uniform. He has also received letters of 
commendation from the Bucks County District Attorneys' Office and the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, to name 
just a couple. Patrick has proven himself to be an officer committed to 
protecting and defending his hometown and his neighbors.
  We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact that Corporal 
Patrick Daniel McKee has had throughout his long career of public 
service, and we wish him countless blessings during his retirement.
