              SALUTE TO HURRICANE VOLUNTEER WAYNE HASSLER

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 25, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute those individuals 
and organizations that opened their hearts and dedicated both financial 
and emotional support to the evacuees of Hurricane Katrina and 
Hurricane Rita. All of the states along the Gulf Coast have endured 
terrible hardships during this hurricane season, and I know that the 
generosity of North Texans played a vital role in bringing some peace 
into their lives.
  Today, I want to specifically thank one man, his store and his 
donation. Wayne Hassler, from Chick-fil-A donated 75 sandwiches for 
volunteers during hurricane Katrina.
  Chick-fil-A is one of the largest privately owned restaurant chains 
in the Nation. Yet, from the beginning, their first priority has never 
been just to serve chicken; they serve the Lord and the community.
  I stand here today to sincerely thank Wayne Hassler for his donation. 
It is people like him that I am proud to call a fellow Texan. Through 
his contribution, he not only stands as a devoted and giving American 
citizen, but he serves as an inspiration to others.
