HONORING THE MEMORY OF JOSEPH CORR
(Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor the life and memory
of New Hartford, New York Police Officer Joseph Corr. Fifteen years ago
last month, Officer Corr was shot and killed in the line of duty while
in pursuit of a robbery suspect.
Joe Corr, who was born and raised in my hometown of New Hartford, New
York, was a dedicated father to Kaitlyn, a loving husband to Tracie,
and a hero who served and protected our community with honor.
Today, the Officer Joseph D. Corr Foundation proudly honors Joe's
memory and gives back to his fellow members in blue by supporting other
families who have experienced similar tragedies. His parents, Dave and
Kathleen, continue to provide their love and counsel to those families
as well.
Officer Corr's death is a sad reminder of the dangers our brave men
and women face each day in the line of duty. These heroes deserve our
unwavering respect for the sacrifices that they make each and every day
to keep our communities safe.
