                  HONORING THE LIFE OF NEIL T. FREEMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHRIS PAPPAS

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 12, 2023

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Neil Thomas Freeman, 
an Army Veteran and resident of Tilton, New Hampshire, who passed away 
in November. Neil was a beloved husband, son, and brother, who proudly 
dedicated his life to public service both in the United States Army and 
as a civilian federal employee.
  Born in Somerville, MA, Neil enlisted in the United States Army 
shortly after graduating from high school in 1984. Following his 
military service, Neil was a proud member of the DAV, VFW, and AMVETS. 
Neil continued to serve his country as a civil servant for over 30 
years, working for the United States Postal Service, Veterans Affairs, 
and United States Customs and Immigration. Most recently, he was a 
Congressional Liaison in the U.S. Customs and Immigration Service's 
Manchester Field Office.
  Neil was known by his coworkers, friends, and family for being 
incredibly selfless, patient, and kind. He will be fondly remembered by 
the communities he touched and those he loved for years to come. His 
legacy of service, connection, and family will continue to inspire 
others.
  On behalf of the constituents of New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I share my condolences with the Freeman family, including 
Neil's loving wife, Lisa his son, Cole, and his many nieces, nephews, 
extended family members, and friends. I would once again like to extend 
my condolences to the Freeman family and wish them all the very best in 
this time of grieving.
