                 IN HONOR OF SERGEANT VINCENT FISCELLA

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 14, 2006

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to pay tribute to Sergeant Vincent Fiscella a 17-year veteran of the 
Delaware State Police and the 2006 recipient of the Legacy of Honor 
Award presented by the Ronald G. Williams Foundation.
  In 2003, The Ronald G. Williams, Jr. Foundation instituted the 
``Legacy of Honor'' Award to recognize Delaware law enforcement 
officers who distinguish themselves through exemplary integrity and 
devotion to character. Sergeant Fiscella is a very worthy recipient of 
this award and I'm proud to honor him today. Sergeant Fiscella also 
serves as the President of the Delaware State Troopers Association.
  The Legacy of Honor Award was created in memory of Delaware State 
Trooper Ronald Williams who was dedicated to the ideals of honor, duty, 
loyalty and service to others. Sergeant Fiscella joins two other 
distinguished individuals who have received the Legacy of Honor Award: 
Chief Kevin McDerby of New Castle County Police and Major Joseph Papili 
of the Delaware State Police.
  Sergeant Fiscella's desire to become a Delaware State Trooper was 
born out of a will to be a part of an organization with rich tradition 
and history. Since 1923, the Delaware State Police have been serving 
the people of Delaware and now more than ever, the importance of 
effective law enforcement is apparent. Thankfully, there are officers 
like Sergeant Fiscella serving and protecting our communities.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I would like to once again, commend Sergeant 
Fiscella on his achievement and thank him and all law-enforcement 
officials for all the tireless work they undertake to make our streets 
and communities safe places to live. I'm sure Sergeant Fiscella is and 
will continue to be an inspiration to his colleagues and future law-
enforcement officers.
