RECOGNIZING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK
(Mr. GIANFORTE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of National
Police Week to honor the heroes who dedicate their lives to keep our
communities safe and secure.
Montana's courageous law enforcement officers are the epitome of
selfless public service. Yesterday marked the 37th annual National
Peace Officers' Memorial Service. It is only fitting that I honor one
of Montana's fallen heroes.
One year ago today, Broadwater County sheriff's deputy, Mason Moore,
made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. A routine traffic stop
turned into a pursuit of two violent suspects who callously took Deputy
Moore's life.
Deputy Moore was a dedicated husband and father of three, including
twin teenage boys. His sacrifice to keep his community safe will not be
forgotten.
Today, Mr. Speaker, I honor the law enforcement community in Montana
during National Police Week for their dedication, service, and
sacrifice. I am grateful for those in uniform who serve and protect our
communities and pray for their safety.
