Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today with a heavy heart as I mourn the loss of a true American hero, Sergeant Bill Hooser. In the line of duty, Sergeant Hooser demonstrated unparalleled courage and commitment to serving our community. His dedication to protecting and serving the people of Santaquin, Utah, was unwavering. Yet, his life was cut short in a senseless act of violence, a tragedy that took him from us far too soon. Sergeant Hooser's sacrifice serves as a stark reminder of the dangers our law enforcement officers face each and every day. They put their lives on the line to keep us safe, to uphold justice, and to maintain law and order. Sergeant Hooser exemplified the very best of that high and noble calling. Let's remember his bravery, integrity, and selflessness. We owe it to Sergeant Hooser, his family, and all those who wear the uniform to ensure that their sacrifices are never forgotten. We must stand together as Utahns and as Americans in support of our law enforcement officers. May God bless Sergeant Hooser. May He comfort his family in their time of grief, and may He watch over all those who continue to serve on the front lines of law enforcement. I ask that the House observe a moment of silence. ____________________
