                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 17, 2025

  Mr. WIED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an exceptional 
community leader, veteran, and volunteer, Mr. Patrick Moran.
  In recognition of Mr. Moran's selfless service and steadfast 
leadership, he is the recipient of the 2025 De Pere Community Silver 
Knight Award. Since 1968, the De Pere Community Silver Knight Award has 
been bestowed upon outstanding individuals nominated by De Pere service 
clubs, civic organizations or members of the community.
  Mr. Moran's decades of service are truly remarkable. It is evident 
that Mr. Moran has dedicated his life to serving others and has 
undoubtedly played an instrumental role in the success of several 
organizations throughout Brown County and Northeast Wisconsin. From his 
time serving as a Cub Scout Leader and Soccer Coach in De Pere to his 
over 50 years with the De Pere VFW Post 2113, Mr. Moran's unwavering 
support and guidance deserves our highest admiration.
  In addition to Mr. Moran's community service, his most important role 
has been a supportive husband to his wife Linda and father to three 
children, Phillip, Renee, and Nickolas. Throughout his children's 
upbringing, Pat was a leader that you could always count on--serving as 
a Cub Scout Leader, Lost Dauphin 4H leader, Soccer Coach, and member of 
the MBX Motorcycle Club and the West De Pere Snow Owls Snowmobile Club. 
I commend Mr. Moran's unwavering commitment to Northeast Wisconsin.
  Mr. Moran's decades of guidance, support, and leadership in his 
community deserve the highest degree of recognition. I ask my 
colleagues to join me to congratulate Mr. Patrick Moran on receiving 
the 2025 De Pere Community Silver Knight Award. I am proud to represent 
such incredible men and women who call Northeast Wisconsin home.
