                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 23, 2021

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, it is with deep sadness but great respect 
that I take this time to remember one of my constituents, Ottie Jackson 
Moore, Sr. of Bowling Green, Virginia.
  Mr. Moore passed away on Monday, May 31, 2021 after nearly a century 
of life. Ottie Moore honored his country with a long career of service 
first with the United States Army, and then seven-terms as Caroline 
Counties Sheriff. His life was an example of commitment, dedication, 
and service from which all of us would be wise to emulate.
  When Ottie was not working, he was spending his time improving the 
community in any way he could. He served as President of the Virginia 
Sheriffs' Association, advised the Virginia Assembly in passage of 
legislation to advance local law enforcement and was a founding member 
of the Board that led to the creation of the Rappahannock Regional 
Training academy in 1977.
  In addition to his life of leadership in the military and local law 
enforcement, Ottie was known as a family man and valuable member of the 
community. Along with his wife Dana Moore,--together they raised a 
daughter Mary and son ``Jack'' and worshipped as members of the Bowling 
Green Methodist Church.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring Mr. Ottie Moore, Sr. 
and in thanking the Moore family for his incredible sacrifices, 
devotion, and service to our Nation; words cannot express our 
gratitude. On behalf of America's First District, we say thank you.
