                         HONORING MICHAEL MORAN

  (Ms. BOEBERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BOEBERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life, sacrifice, and 
service of Cortez Police Sergeant Michael Moran, a true American hero 
who laid down his life in service to our great country and his 
community.
  Sergeant Moran was fatally shot during a traffic stop on November 29, 
providing a tragic end to a life of dedication and service.
  Sergeant Moran answered the call to serve our Nation as a marine for 
9 years before joining the Cortez Police Department in 2012. His life 
was marked with selfless courage and love, always putting others before 
himself.
  Mr. Speaker, Sergeant Moran was a shining example for all Americans. 
His passing is an immeasurable loss for us all, and he was the best 
that Colorado's Third District had to offer.
  My prayers go out to his family, his loved ones, and the community of 
Cortez. I pray for God's wraparound presence to surround them, comfort 
them, and heal them in this time of mourning.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Sergeant Moran for his selfless service.
