                        Friday, January 9, 2015

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, today we recognize a career of 
committed service to our nation and our communities by Raymond 
Bencivengo of Philadelphia.
  Mr. Bencivengo's service began as a United States Marine serving in 
Vietnam and continued for 25 years after as a Philadelphia Police 
officer, both on the beat and administratively. Even after retiring 
from the police force in 1984, Mr. Bencivengo continued his commitment 
to law, order and protection by serving as a Pennsylvania State Parole 
Agent for 20 years.
  In the summer of 2014, Mr. Bencivengo officially began his well-
deserved retirement.
  The quiet, selfless service of those like Mr. Bencivengo should never 
go forgotten or un-thanked. So today, I congratulate Raymond Bencivengo 
and wish him all the best in his retirement.
