             TROOPER ELI McCARSON, NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE

                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. DONALD NORCROSS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 7, 2016

  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of fallen 
New Jersey State Police Trooper Eli McCarson for his extraordinary 
sacrifice and exemplary service to the citizens of New Jersey and the 
United States.
  Trooper McCarson's dream was to serve his community as a member of 
the New Jersey State Police. His perseverance was finally rewarded in 
February 2015 when he graduated from the State Police Academy at the 
top of his class with honors. Unfortunately on December 17th, after 
just ten months on the force, Trooper McCarson was killed in a tragic 
car accident in the line of duty. His untimely death left behind his 
loving family--including his wife Jordan McCarson--and a grateful 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, Trooper Eli McCarson's life reminds us that the men and 
women who serve and protect our communities put their lives on the line 
every day to protect us. I join with my community and all of New Jersey 
in honoring the achievements and selfless service of this truly 
exceptional young man.
