  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pastor lsiah 
Moore, Jr., of Celina, Texas, and present him with the Congressional 
Patriot Award. Pastor Moore has dedicated himself to faithfully serving 
our community and country.
  Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, Pastor Moore attended Booker T.

graduation. He was honorably discharged in June 1971 with the rank of 
Seaman Apprentice. Pastor Moore earned his bachelor's degree in 1976 
from Bishop College in Dallas and attended Perkins Theological and 
Chriswell Ministry College. He began his career as a campus police 
officer at Bishop College and assistant manager at Winn Dixie before 
becoming a firefighter for the City of Dallas. Later, Pastor Moore 
served as the Senior Pastor of Samaria Baptist Church in Van Alstyne 
and St. Philip Baptist Church in Celina.
  For nearly four decades, Pastor Moore has worked as a firefighter in 
North Texas and volunteer chaplain for the Celina Police Department. He 
is a board member of the Celina Police and Firefighters Benevolent 
Association, the Collin Baptist Association Board, the McKinney Area 
Ministerial Alliance Board, and many more. Additionally, Pastor Moore 
has worked with the Young Republicans in McKinney and campaigned for 
local judges in Collin County. For his outstanding contributions, 
Pastor Moore has received the 2021 Life Connected Award from the City 
of Celina and was recognized by his fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, for 50 
years of service. I am pleased to recognize Pastor Moore today for his 
exceptional leadership and longtime dedication to helping our community 
succeed.
  It is an honor to bestow Pastor Moore with the Patriot Award for his 
exceptional service to the people of North Texas.
