  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service and 
commitment of Travis Aguirre, who received the Young Alumni Hall of 
Fame Award from the Victor Valley College Foundation on February 22, 
2020.
  Captain Travis Aguirre's commitment to public service came from a 
passion of wanting to make an impact and difference in his career 
field. After receiving his Associate's in Fire Science from Victor 
Valley College, Travis transitioned from student to teacher and taught 
at the Fire Academy and within the EMT Program at the college. 
Beginning his fire career with City of Victorville Fire Department, he 
has progressed from Engineer to Captain with the San Bernardino County 
Fire Department. He consistently stays involved in his community, by 
mentoring local youth, serving in the San Bernardino County Fire 
Department Honor Guard, and serving as the Vice President of IAFF Local 
935.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I congratulate 
Captain Travis Aguirre on this award, and thank him for his dedication 
and service to the residents of San Bernardino County. Captain Aguirre 
is a true mode of the professionalism and service of the San Bernardino 
County Fire Department.
