  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievements 
of Charles L. Brimm, from Dupo, Illinois.
  Charlie Brimm has been an influential leader in the Dupo, Illinois 
V.F.W., Post 6368, for years now. His past positions include 14th 
District Commander from 1992 to 1993, Jr. Vice Commander, and Sr. Vice 
Commander of the Department of Illinois. I would like to take this 
opportunity to congratulate Mr. Brimm on his recently named position as 
Department Commander of the State of Illinois.
  Service in the military, the police force, county deputies office, 
and organizations like the Shiners have made Charles Brimm a fixture of 
law enforcement and an upholder of the law, as well as a caring 
individual. Through his leadership and efforts to improve the 
community, Charlie has had a positive impact on the town and people of 
Dupo.
  I would like to thank Mr. Brimm for his service to this great country 
and to the people of the Dupo community throughout the years, and wish 
him well in his continued service with the V.F.W.
