RENAMING THE NEWTOWN BYPASS TO THE BRIAN S. GREGG MEMORIAL HIGHWAY
(Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, in my district in Pennsylvania, the
Newtown bypass will be renamed, on April 22, the Brian S. Gregg
Memorial Highway, in honor of a Newtown Borough police officer who lost
his life in the line of duty on September 29, 2005.
Officer Gregg was 45, a husband and a father. Throughout a police
career that began in 2003, Officer Gregg demonstrated his dedication to
the Newtown community and its residents with his earnest and daily
commitment to their protection.
Always professional in the performance of his duties, Officer Gregg
was a familiar and friendly face in the borough. His presence and his
service is missed.
Now, as we recognize the great sacrifice made by Officer Gregg and
his family, we are also grateful as a wider community for the
commitment we see reflected in the daily work of police officers and
first responders everywhere.
