Rebbie and I extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and fellow Troopers of Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Michael Pahira Jr., who tragically lost his life in the line of duty while conducting a commercial motor vehicle inspection on Interstate 81 this morning.
Trooper Pahira made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting the people of our Commonwealth. We owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to the brave men and women of law enforcement who put themselves in harm`s way each day to keep our communities safe.
Please join us in praying for Trooper Pahira`s loved ones, his fellow Troopers, and all who are mourning this profound loss.
May we never forget his service, his sacrifice, and his unwavering commitment to Pennsylvania.
