                          HON. JO ANN EMERSON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 1, 2011

  Mrs. EMERSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sgt. Dale 
Moreland of the Missouri Highway Patrol. Sgt. Moreland has served our 
state for 32 years in law enforcement. He daily put his life on the 
line to protect Missouri's citizens and to keep our roads safe as a 
public affairs officer.
  Like many states, Missouri is blessed by patriotic Americans who 
volunteer to serve our communities by keeping them safe. Sgt. Moreland 
is an example of how this spirit of service is alive and well in the 
Congressional District I represent. By remaining an active part of our 
southern Missouri community, he will surely inspire others to find ways 
to contribute their time and talent to our communities, state and 
nation. The example he sets, especially for young people, is a great 
part of the long tradition in our country by which the desire and 
capability to serve remains strong and unbroken through the generations 
of Missourians who call our state home.
  Words cannot adequately express how appreciative I am for his 
service. He has devoted much of his life to protecting the public and 
enforcing the laws of our state.
  Thank you Sgt. Moreland for your service and we wish you the best of 
luck in your retirement!
  Enjoy!
