  HONORING OFFICER MATTHEW MOORE AFTER HIS PASSING ON JANUARY 23, 2016

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. FRANK C. GUINTA

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 4, 2016

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Granite State hero and 
fallen police officer Matthew Moore of Hampstead, New Hampshire.
   On January 23, 2016, the State of New Hampshire lost a true Granite 
State hero. During this time of great sadness, we remember and 
celebrate the life of not only a tremendous police officer, but also a 
father, husband and friend.
   Moore devoted his life to protecting our families and our 
communities through his military service as a Marine, and his time as a 
police officer in the towns of Pelham, Sandown and Hampstead.
   As his family, friends, neighbors and fellow police officers knew, 
Moore was really one of a kind. The dedication and compassion he 
demonstrated during his years of service are not--and will not--be 
forgotten.
   It takes a remarkable individual like Matthew Moore to risk their 
life daily to keep us safe and protect us from harm. So let us take a 
moment today and pause, reflect, and celebrate the life and valor of 
Officer Moore. He put his life on the line to protect the Granite 
State, and we are forever grateful.
