ORTIZ\n\n                                of texas\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Monday, December 20, 2004\n\n  Mr. ORTIZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to a great American\npatriot, Army Major Horst Gerhard ``Gary'' Moore of Los Fresnos Texas,\nwho gave the last full measure of devotion to the country he loved and\nserved when he was killed in Iraq in November.\n  He was a child of the Army, following both his father and his\ngrandfather in the uniformed services. Roaming the Nation at the whim\nof the U.S. Army as a child made him yearn for a home in which to grow\nold with his beloved wife, Raquel Vallejo-Moore.\n  He came home from Iraq for a while and, before returning to the war\nzone in September, he and Raquel bought their dream home. Major Moore\nwas killed in a mortar attack in Mosul, Iraq; he never even spent the\nnight in their new home. He felt strongly about getting his family\nmoved in and settled there.\n  The last conversation with his wife was to wish her happy birthday.\nMajor Moore served with the 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division for\nabout a year, then he was deployed to Mosul, Iraq, in October to\nreplace the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. He served in the Army\n17 years and was considering retiring when his tour of duty ended in\nabout 3 years.\n  Soldiers who knew and served with Major Moore spoke candidly about\nthe human side of this tough soldier. He was known for his kind and\ncaring manner, and his absolute love of Raquel and their 2-year old\ndaughter, Sophia.\n  Like so many of our soldiers, Major Moore had a mindset that he could\ndo anything. He lived life to the fullest, and often spoke of living in\nthe moment and making the best out of life's challenges.\n  I want the Major's daughter, Sophia, who is too young now to\nunderstand the depth of her father's sacrifice, to one day appreciate\nthat her father loved this country--and her--enough to go in harm's way\nto protect our democracy.\n  I ask my colleagues to remember this great patriot, his great\nsacrifice, and the family he leaves behind in South Texas.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2004-12-20-pt1-PgE2205"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 4.996616160497069, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
