  CONGRATULATIONS TO EDWARD BURR AND THE MONIQUE BURR FOUNDATION FOR 
                                CHILDREN

  (Mr. RUTHERFORD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Edward Burr 
and the Monique Burr Foundation for Children located in northeast 
Florida.
  Established in 1997, the Monique Burr Foundation works to prevent 
abuse, bullying, cyberbullying, exploitation, and human trafficking of 
children.
  They have trained more than 5,000 facilitators in schools all across 
67 Florida counties, 28 other States, and 3 foreign countries.
  Madam Speaker, as the former sheriff of Duval County, I can 
personally attest to the difference the Monique Burr Foundation is 
making in the lives of children across Florida and across our country.
  Recently, Mr. Burr received the Hearthstone BUILDER Humanitarian 
Award in recognition of his decades of public service to support and 
protect children in need.
  On behalf of the Fourth Congressional District of Florida, I 
congratulate Edward Burr for his well-deserved honor, and I thank the 
Monique Burr Foundation for Children for their excellent work in our 
community.
