                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 22, 2010

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Captain Deron 
Berthold, who has virtuously served the United States and the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky.
  After 20 years of dedicated service, Captain Berthold will retire 
from the Kentucky State Police. However, he leaves behind a great 
legacy and is an example for all current and future officers.
  Captain Berthold earned his degree from the University of Louisville 
and went on to graduate from Police Academy on November 23, 1981, 
receiving the Commissioner's Commendation Award.
  Throughout his career, Captain Berthold demonstrated exemplary 
dedication and outstanding leadership, working his way up through the 
ranks from a sergeant in Madisonville to the Drug Enforcement Captain 
at DESI WEST.
  He represents his State proudly as a man of honor and is an officer 
of tremendous depth, intellect and vision.
  I honor him today because of his dignified and steadfast commitment 
to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, his fellow officers and the citizens 
of our community.
