  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Captain Chuck 
Howell for his dedicated and outstanding service to the Denton Fire 
Department and the City of Denton, Texas.
  Captain Chuck Howell has recently been named Fire Officer of the Year 
for his leadership and devotion to the Denton Fire Department. As a 
confident and intelligent captain and fireman, Mr. Howell is not afraid 
to take command or defend a fire himself. He has gained much respect 
from his fellow firemen and maintains a level of competency that stands 
unparalleled.
  It is with great honor that I recognize Captain Chuck Howell for his 
hard work and selfless dedication to the Denton Fire Department and the 
citizens of Denton, Texas. I am proud to represent him in Washington, 
and his service will be set as a standard of devotion and true 
leadership, one that will never be forgotten.
