                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 2022

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the life and 
legacy of an outstanding public servant, Officer Dominic Hall. A 
military veteran and police officer with the Appleton Police 
Department, Officer Hall dedicated his life to serving his Nation and 
our Northeast Wisconsin community. Officer Hall was committed to 
serving the United States and Northeast Wisconsin through many 
different roles. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps after 
graduating from Xavier High School and was active duty from 2008 to 
2012. He then reenlisted in the Army National Guard where he continued 
serving until 2018. His dedication and commitment to his country has 
been memorialized by countless recognitions received during his career, 
including the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with three Campaign Stars, the 
Bronze Star, USN Meritorious Unit Commendation, USMC Good Conduct 
Medal, National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism 
Service Medal, and more. It is evident through his years of impeccable 
service that Officer Hall's dedication to his nation and community 
never wavered. I am incredibly grateful for his selfless and dedicated 
service.
  Officer Hall continued to serve his community by joining the Police 
Department in the City of Appleton in 2017. Since 2017, he protected 
his friends and neighbors and was recognized by receiving the Appleton 
Police Department Commander's Commendation for apprehension of a 
homicide suspect, and the Appleton Police Department Life Saving Award. 
Officer Hall's exemplary character and thoughtfulness will certainly be 
missed by many throughout the City of Appleton and Northeast Wisconsin.
  Throughout Officer Hall's fight with cancer that began in 2021 he 
continued to shine a light in our community. His battle with cancer 
brought together his church community at St. Pius X Parish frequently 
praying for healing. I am confident Officer Hall inspired many 
throughout our community with his fighting spirit.
  Madam Speaker, today the people of Northeast Wisconsin thank Officer 
Dominic Hall for his extraordinary devotion to his community. My 
thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Jacole, his two children, and 
all the people who were touched by his life.
