                     HONORING CHARLES ``CHUCK'' HAEFLINGER

      (Mrs. KIM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
    minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
      Mrs. KIM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Charles ``Chuck''
    Haeflinger of Chino Hills, who passed away on February 3 at the age of
    77.
      Chuck had a distinguished 32-year career in the Army, serving as a
    helicopter pilot in the Vietnam war and retiring as a lieutenant
    colonel. He earned a Bronze Star and five Meritorious Service Medals.
      Chuck's service to our Chino Hills community continued after his
    retirement. He helped fellow veterans transition back to civilian life,
    became a mentor emeritus for the Reaching New Heights Foundation, and
    was an active member of the Chino Hills 55 Plus Club Veterans Group,
    playing a key role in raising funds for the military service monument
    at the community center. He was also a valued member of my Veterans
    Advisory Group.
      I thank Chuck for his contributions to our community and extend my
    heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
