                             BURTON MOSELEY

  Ms. MOSELEY-BRAUN. Mr. President, at the time the world was mourning 
the terror in Israel, my family was mourning the loss of my beloved 
uncle, Burton Moseley.
  Uncle Burt was my late father's only sibling. Both before and after 
my dad passed away, Uncle Burt was a mentor, a friend, and a role 
model. He was a simple, honest man, an upright man who brought joy to 
those whose lives he touched.
  No one had a harsh word about him, he never spoke ill of another 
person. He was, for almost all of his adult life, a Chicago police 
officer. He epitomized the very best in law enforcement, a person who 
cared about the quality of life in his community, and who saw fighting 
crime as a way to contribute. He remained active in the Guardians 
police organization to the end.
  He was our hero.
