IN MEMORY OF OFFICER JASON MOSZER
(Mr. CRAMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to a hero, Fargo
police officer Jason Moszer.
While in the Army National Guard, he was deployed as a combat medic
to Bosnia and Iraq. Officer Moszer joined the Fargo Police Department
in 2009. In 2012, he and a fellow officer were awarded the department's
Silver Star Medal for rescuing two children from an apartment fire.
On the night of February 10, Officer Moszer responded to a domestic
disturbance, putting himself in danger to help others, something he had
done many times. On this night, however, gunshots were fired and a
bullet struck Officer Moszer, causing a fatal wound.
He died the next afternoon, but not before one last heroic act. It is
reported at least five people, ages 26 to 61, are being helped thanks
to his donated organs.
I thank our U.S. Capitol Police officers for their service to us
every day. I especially thank Officer Andy Maybo, who traveled to Fargo
to represent the Capitol Police and the National Memorial Committee,
which he chairs. Andy lent his expertise to the Fargo PD and planners
as they prepared for a fellow officer's funeral, an event that had not
occurred in Fargo in over 130 years.
God bless all the men and women who wear the badge, and God bless the
memory of Officer Jason Moszer.
