                        Wednesday, July 28, 2010

  Mr. CAMPBELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a constituent 
of mine, Pastor Shawn Black of Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, 
California. Pastor Black served as our guest Chaplain this morning. 
Eight years ago, he founded Project Prayer Flag, a non-profit 
organization which has supported over 700,000 American military 
personnel by providing care packages and support for troops' families. 
Pastor Black himself volunteered for military service at age 17, and in 
addition to his ministry, has spent over twenty years in law 
enforcement, including a stint as a Federal Air Marshal from 2002-2005. 
I would like to thank him for opening this session of Congress today in 
prayer, as well as for his many years of dedicated service to our 
country.
