                      HONORING TROOPER SEAN CULLEN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. THOMAS MacARTHUR

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 14, 2016

  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory and life 
of fallen New Jersey State Trooper Sean Cullen of the Third 
Congressional District, and to express my sincerest condolences to his 
family and loved ones he has left behind, as well as to recognize his 
career of public service.
  Sean Cullen was a standout athlete at Cinnaminson High School and 
All-American wrestler at Lycoming College in Pennsylvania, where he 
earned a degree in criminal justice. After he graduated college, Sean 
pursued a career in law enforcement, eventually becoming a New Jersey 
State Trooper. His first police job was in Sea Isle City, where he 
served as a Special Officer Class II. Sean dedicated five years to the 
Mount Holly Police Department and then served with the Westampton 
Township Police Department before joining the New Jersey State Police. 
Sean was known by fellow officers for his upbeat and positive spirit, 
and his ability to overcome any obstacle in his way.
  Trooper Cullen sacrificed precious time with his fiancee and son to 
protect and serve those in need. He was fatally struck by an oncoming 
vehicle while responding to an accident.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of New Jersey's Third Congressional District 
are tremendously honored by the selfless dedication displayed by Sean 
Cullen. He was a true hero, who put his life in harm's way to protect 
and serve those in need. It is with a heavy heart that I rise before 
the United States House of Representatives to commemorate his career 
and life, and recognize the lasting legacy that he has left behind.
