  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Charles ``Bud'' 
Burns, a U.S. Navy veteran who served during the Second World War.
   A South Philadelphia native, Mr. Burns enlisted in the Navy in 1946. 
After completing basic training, he was sent to Italy for his first 
tour of duty on the USS Compton. During his time overseas, Mr. Burns 
patrolled the Mediterranean Sea before returning to the United States 
and being honorably discharged in 1948.
   Mr. Burns received the Good Conduct Medal and the European-African-
Middle Eastern Campaign Medal for his admirable service.
   Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Mr. Burns, and I thank him 
for his service and allegiance to his country.
