             IN HONOR OF THE SANFORD MERIDIAN CLASS OF 2002

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 2002

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor The Sanford Meridian High 
School Class of 2002, which, ``adopted'' Pentagon survivor Army 
Lieutenant Colonel Brian Birdwell.
  I applaud the 93 students whose compassion and initiative stirred 
them to action following the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Their 
decision to ``adopt'' a Pentagon survivor is highly commendable. After 
months of hard work and dedication, the students raised over $14,000 
for Pentagon survivor Army Lieutenant Colonel Brian Birdwell, who will 
use the money for a college scholarship fund for his son Matthew.
  Through the students' acts of kindness and compassion, the members of 
the Meridian High School Class of 2002 have proven to be true role 
models for their community. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District 
of Michigan, I am proud to congratulate the Meridian High School Class 
of 2002 for their admirable efforts.
