Mr. NORMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of Mr. Michael G. ``Moose'' Krause, an outstanding individual who tragically passed away on October 28, 2020 at the age of 48.
Born on August 13, 1972, Michael was raised in Wayne, New Jersey by two loving parents, Michael and Loretta Krause. He graduated from Wayne Hills High School and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point. While at West Point, Michael led the Army football team to three paramount victories over Navy as an offensive guard. He later received a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Hawaii.
Michael served over 21 honorable years in both the United States Army and the Maryland Army National Guard, achieving the rank of Major. With a passion for flying and spending time in the cockpit, Michael flew various aircrafts as an Army helicopter pilot. Michael would go on to earn numerous decorations throughout his military career, including the Bronze Star Medal, Army Air Medal, Air Force Air Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Army Commendation Medal, and Army Achievement Medal.
Michael retired from the Army in 2015 and began serving as Regional Vice President with Primerica Financial Services. Operating a financial brokerage, he invested long hours in teaching middle class families how to support themselves long-term. Michael was happily married to Jilian Chevalier and had three wonderful sons named MJ, Bobby, and Billy. He was a remarkable husband, father, and friend who chose to dedicate his life to humbly serving others. While Michael will be greatly missed, I am certain that his presence will live on in the lives of many for years to come.
