                         FALLEN HEROES CAMPAIGN

  (Mr. STEARNS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STEARNS. Mr. Speaker, I wish to praise the admirable actions of 
First Coast Energy Shell Corporation, a Jacksonville-based company from 
my congressional district.
  During the third annual Tribute to Heroes campaign, First Coast 
Energy Shell has pledged to raise $75,000 for the Intrepid Fallen 
Heroes Fund. This fund provides military families whose loved ones have 
been killed or wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan with financial and 
emotional support.
  Beginning on Memorial Day and continuing through the Fourth of July, 
First Coast Energy Shell will donate a portion of all gasoline sales to 
this fund. I share in First Coast Energy's belief that ``the military 
is an important part of our community'' and that we should all actively 
support and honor those heroes who have sacrificed so much for our 
country.
  I am proud to represent such patriotic and generous constituents and 
strongly urge my fellow Members to visit www.fallenheroesfund.org to 
learn more about this very good campaign.
