                         HONORING BRUCE BURNHAM

  (Mr. SPANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SPANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Bruce Burnham, a 
retired member of the military police who served in the Vietnam war and 
was awarded the Bronze Star.
  After retiring from the military, Mr. Burnham began teaching at 
Armwood High School, where he taught history, social studies, and 
classes on the Vietnam war for 30 years.
  Known affectionately as the mayor of Armwood, Mr. Burnham continues 
to dedicate his retirement to the students. He serves as the announcer 
for the Armwood varsity football team and continues to give speeches to 
high school students on the Vietnam war.
  Mr. Burnham was placed on the front lines of history, and he has 
spent the last 30 years retelling that history to his students.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Burnham clearly has the love of our community. He 
also has the respect of our country.
