                 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.
