  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to offer my 
congratulations to Middletown Township Police Sgt. Mark Wert for 33 
years of outstanding service to the people of my home community and its 
police department.
  As always, the community owes a debt of gratitude to those first 
responders who, each day, selflessly protect our lives and property. 
Sgt. Wert began his career on July 15, 1981,

moving to squad supervisor and then administration overseeing the 
Traffic Safety Unit. He also was the instructor for Emergency Vehicle 
Operations and one of the department's first Field Training Officers. 
His dedication is recognized by the responsibilities he took on within 
the police department and also in the community. He was a director of 
the Transportation Management Association of Bucks County and active in 
the community's volunteer fire service--Skyline Fire Association and 
William Penn Fire Co.
  Sgt. Wert's retirement begins on August 1, 2014 and so, on behalf of 
the grateful community where I live and that I represent in this House, 
I extend sincere appreciation to Sgt. Mark Wert and wish him many 
healthy and happy retirement years.
