                   IN MEMORY OF OFFICER JASON MOSZER

  (Mr. CRAMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to a hero, Fargo 
police officer Jason Moszer.
  While in the Army National Guard, he was deployed as a combat medic 
to Bosnia and Iraq. Officer Moszer joined the Fargo Police Department 
in 2009. In 2012, he and a fellow officer were awarded the department's 
Silver Star Medal for rescuing two children from an apartment fire.
  On the night of February 10, Officer Moszer responded to a domestic 
disturbance, putting himself in danger to help others, something he had 
done many times. On this night, however, gunshots were fired and a 
bullet struck Officer Moszer, causing a fatal wound.
  He died the next afternoon, but not before one last heroic act. It is 
reported at least five people, ages 26 to 61, are being helped thanks 
to his donated organs.
  I thank our U.S. Capitol Police officers for their service to us 
every day. I especially thank Officer Andy Maybo, who traveled to Fargo 
to represent the Capitol Police and the National Memorial Committee, 
which he chairs. Andy lent his expertise to the Fargo PD and planners 
as they prepared for a fellow officer's funeral, an event that had not 
occurred in Fargo in over 130 years.
  God bless all the men and women who wear the badge, and God bless the 
memory of Officer Jason Moszer.
