                        HON. NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS

                        Wednesday, July 28, 2021

  Ms. MALLIOTAKIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Sergeant Michael St. Christopher Fuller. Sergeant Fuller was born on 
the island of Jamaica and immigrated to the United States with the 
dream of becoming a police officer. That dream became a reality in 1995 
when he graduated from the police academy at the age of 33 years old, 
Over the course of his career, Sergeant Michael S. Fuller served in the 
following posts and units: The 13th Precinct located in the Southern 
portion of Midtown Manhattan, the Cabaret Unit which focused on vice 
crimes, the 94th Precinct located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, The 
Inspections Unit, The Chief of Patrols Office, Manhattan South Task 
Force, and Manhattan South Evidence Collection.
  On September 11, 2001, Sergeant Fuller was enjoying a day off from 
work when he received the news about the terror attacks that were 
occurring across the nation. He immediately changed into his uniform, 
picked up his children from school, and jumped into a police van to 
respond to the attacks in Lower Manhattan. His heroic actions of that 
day and the rescue/recovery mission over the following weeks would 
prove to be fatal as he was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer due to his 
service on December 31, 2019. Despite being diagnosed with a deadly 
form of cancer, Sergeant Fuller continued to be positive and was 
steadfast in his decision to respond to the attacks on September 11, 
2001.
  In the 90's, Sergeant Fuller received an FBI Commendation for aiding 
in the rescue of a kidnapped girl by recognizing the vehicle which the 
girl had last been seen in while he was on duty.
  Sergeant Fuller was a decorated law enforcement officer who served 
proudly for twenty years receiving a ``Good-guy Letter'' upon 
retirement in 2015. He had never received a command discipline or had 
disciplinary actions taken against him.
  Sergeant Fuller is survived by his loving wife Sunni Beth Fuller, 
loving son Jesse Ethan Fuller, and loving daughter Becky Cara Fuller. 
He will always be remembered as a hero, a fantastic father, a man 
dedicated to his work, and a proud immigrant who lived out his American 
dream as he was always so proud to call himself an American.
  Sergeant Fuller's end of watch has come, but he has served 
faithfully, proudly, and without hesitation. His family and friends are 
forever grateful for his love and dedication. May he rest peacefully.
