                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 23, 2016

  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of fallen 
New Jersey State Trooper Sean Cullen of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, for 
his extraordinary sacrifice and exemplary service to the citizens of 
New Jersey and the United States.
  Trooper Cullen was born in Dublin, Ireland, and immigrated to the 
United States with his family when he was a child. Trooper Cullen and 
his family resided in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, and he graduated from 
Cinnaminson High School in 2003.
  Trooper Cullen subsequently became a police officer, serving in the 
Sea Isle City, Mount Holly, and Westampton Township Police Departments. 
In 2014, he became a trooper with the New Jersey State Police as a 
graduate of the 154th Class of the New Jersey State Police Academy and 
was assigned to the Bellmawr Station, Camden County Barracks.
  On March 8, 2016, Trooper Cullen tragically passed away following a 
motor vehicle accident that occurred while he was on duty and 
responding to an incident. Trooper Cullen was a loving and devoted 
father, son, and brother, whose memory will live on in the hearts of 
his fiancee, family, friends, and colleagues. He made the ultimate 
sacrifice on behalf of the citizens of New Jersey and served with 
courage, professionalism, and a commitment to the finest ideals and 
traditions of the New Jersey State Police.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with profound sadness that we mourn the loss of 
Trooper Sean Cullen, whose 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.
