Political Quotes

“Today I rise to remember the life of Charleston Hartfield. Charleston was a military veteran who served for 16 years and was deployed to Iraq. He had received a Presidential Citation for extraordinary heroism in Iraq, along with numerous other individual commendations and achievement medals. After the military, Charleston began his career with the Las Vegas Police Department, where he had worked for 11 years while also being an active member of the National Guard. Along with protecting our Nation, he also enjoyed coaching youth football. Although he had no experience in football, he bought and studied books about coaching. Charleston was a husband and a father to a son and a daughter. He attended the Route 91 music festival on October 1 in Las Vegas with his wife, who was his high school sweetheart. Charleston died trying to save the lives of concertgoers. As gunfire erupted, he immediately jumped in to usher people to safety. He was loved by many and touched many lives. As a published memoir author, Charleston's story will always be remembered. He was a selfless man who dedicated his life to protecting the community and country he loved. We also grieve the loss of Charleston's mother, who died 2 days after his funeral from what many people said was a broken heart. I would like to extend my condolences to Charleston Hartfield's family and friends. Please know that the city of Las Vegas and the State of Nevada and the entire country grieve with you.…”
