                      HONORING WALTER H. KECK, JR.

  (Mr. PALAZZO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate and honor Walt H. 
Keck, Jr., on his retirement after 55 years of public service.
  Mr. Keck joined the United States Air Force in 1961. Throughout his 
27-year military career, he rose through the ranks to master sergeant 
before retiring in 1988.
  In 1989, Mr. Keck began his law enforcement career as an officer with 
the Harrison County Sheriff's Department. Nearly 10 years later, he 
assisted the city of D'Iberville in creating its own police department 
while continuing to work for Harrison County. Sworn in as D'Iberville 
police captain in 2008 and deputy chief of police in 2012, Mr. Keck 
retires on May 6, 2014, with over 28 years of law enforcement service.
  Mr. Keck has been described as a man of integrity, intelligence, 
dedication, and compassion, and as a man who truly cares about the 
citizens he serves.
  Mr. Keck, on behalf of the United States Congress, thank you for your 
hard work and commitment to the citizens of the United States and south 
Mississippi. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
