                     HONORING THE LIFE OF LOU MOORE

  (Mr. MIKE GARCIA of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MIKE GARCIA of California. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sorrow 
but also with great pride that I rise today to honor the life of one of 
my constituents, a hero of America's Greatest Generation.
  On December 6, 2022, Mr. Lou Moore, a veteran of World War II and a 
truly valiant warrior who took the fight to the Nazis in Europe, passed 
just shortly after turning 100 years old.
  Today, he is with the Lord. I had the pleasure of presenting Lou with 
the Congressional Gold Medal last year. While he was a man of small 
physical stature, his heart, his love of country, and his passion for 
this beautiful Nation's youth and its veterans were of mammoth 
proportions.
  My friend Lou cherished the marriage he had with his true love, his 
wife, Nellie. While she passed away slightly before Lou, he always had 
family in our district in the form of thousands of veterans throughout 
our area. They loved him dearly.
  Lou blessed us with his special gifts of patriotism and honor, and 
God blessed us with Lou's presence and, now, has brought him home.
  We are all grateful for the life of a truly great American, Mr. Lou 
Moore.
