                 HONORING THE LEGACY OF BLAINE MOELLER

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
California (Mrs. Kim) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Blaine Moeller, 
who passed away at 60 years young and dedicated his career to 
protecting our community.
  He grew up in Orange, attended Peralta Middle School, and graduated

from Villa Park High School. He attended the police academy at Golden 
West College and served in the Santa Ana Police Department for 31 
years.
  A lover of motorcycles, Blaine then became a California Highway 
Patrol motorcycle rider instructor and opened a motorcycle school in 
Anaheim. An avid sports fan, he could be found cheering on his 
favorites: the Green Bay Packers, Florida State, and the Lakers.
  He was a devoted father, son, brother, and uncle. Blaine leaves 
behind two children, Taylor and Courtney; his mother, Marsha; and 
siblings, Lorie, Darin, and Todd.
  Mr. Speaker, I join his family in mourning his passing and honoring 
his legacy.


                   Honoring the Life of Otto Warmbier

  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life of Otto 
Frederick Warmbier as we approach the seventh anniversary of his tragic 
death at the hands of the North Korean regime on June 19, 2017.
  Otto was a dedicated young man, graduating as salutatorian of his 
high school in Ohio before attending the University of Virginia.
  While on a school tour in North Korea in 2015, Otto was imprisoned 
and tortured by the North Korean regime. He died a few days after his 
release at just 22 years old.
  Mr. Speaker, Otto experienced what no human being should ever have to 
go through. While he is no longer with us, his family carries on his 
legacy with their advocacy and strength.
  ``We remember and honor Otto always.'' ``Uri-neun Otto-leul young-
wonhi giukhal geos-ibnida.''
