                 RECOGNIZING WILLIAM ``BUS DAD'' HORNE

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize William 
Horne, affectionately known as ``Bus Dad.''
  After an impressive 51 years behind the wheel of a schoolbus 
dedicated to transporting exceptional children within Wilson County 
Public Schools, Mr. Horne has recently entered a well-deserved 
retirement.
  Mr. Horne was more than just a schoolbus driver. He was devoted to 
his students and their families. He warmly welcomed each child onto his 
bus every morning, making sure they were ready for school. His bus was 
more than just a mode of transportation. It was a safe haven.
  Mr. Horne's dedication exemplifies a great American story 
highlighting the essence of public service: impactful, consistent, and 
full of love and compassion.
  I thank Mr. Horne for his extraordinary commitment to his students 
over the decades. His legacy will remain with those he has touched, and 
I wish him a wonderful retirement.
