  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lieutenant Robert P. 
Del Soldo who is celebrating his retirement from the Horsham Township 
Police Department after 32 years of faithful and devoted service.
  Lt. Del Soldo has served in many different capacities during his 
tenure on the Horsham Township force, working as Patrolman, Detective, 
Patrol Sergeant, and Sergeant of Detectives. Since 1995, he has been 
serving the department at the rank of Lieutenant.
  His dedication to the community has never faltered, even during his 
toughest assignments. Lt. Del Soldo has received commendations for 
saving an individual from a burning vehicle and for apprehending armed 
bank robbery suspects. In addition to his commendations, Lt. Del Soldo 
has undergone professional training in order to better serve his 
community. He has trained under the Department of Justice, Federal 
Bureau of Investigation, Pennsylvania Chief of Police, Northwestern 
University and Penn State University.
  In addition to his service to the Horsham Township community as a 
member of the Police Department, Lt. Del Soldo served his country 
honorably in the United States Air Force in Vietnam from 1965 to 1968. 
He and his wife Peggy are the proud parents of a son and daughter, 
Robert and Theresa Lynn.
  Our community has been privileged to have such a devoted servant and 
it is my pleasure to congratulate Lieutenant Del Soldo on his 
retirement. I wish him all the best in the future.
