Thank you, Madam Speaker.

I rise to honor the impressive and impactful career of Manchester Police Chief Allen Aldenberg as he retires.

Throughout his life, Chief Aldenberg dedicated his efforts to serving others.

In a military career spanning 30 years, he commanded from the company to the brigade level and deployed in support of key operations to combat terrorism and protect our nation after 9/11.

He was awarded a Bronze Star medal for his service in Iraq from 2009 to 2010.

As a law enforcement officer for 27 years, including four years as Chief in Manchester, Chief Aldenberg has worked with officers, department staff, city leadership, and community members to make Manchester safer and stronger. 

I wish him well in his next endeavor as the new Chief Military and Veterans Service Officer at Easterseals’ Military and Veterans Campus.

I join all Granite Staters in thanking Chief Aldenberg for his exceptional leadership and commitment to the people of Manchester and the state of New Hampshire. 

Congratulations, Chief Aldenberg, on a job very well done. 

I yield back.
