                          HONORING DAVID HAMES

  (Mr. LAMBORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of a noble and 
humble man lost in the devastating earthquake in Haiti. David Hames of 
Colorado Springs, Colorado, left an enduring legacy of selflessness and 
faith.
  David lived a life completely devoted to his family and to his 
Savior, Jesus Christ. He and his beloved wife of 13 years, Renee, have 
been blessed with two beautiful adopted sons, Aidan and Zander, who 
will remember their father's unending love.
  He blessed the world with his talent for filmmaking. This was 
embodied in his award-winning and innovative children's educational 
video series, ``Cranium's Ark.''
  On January 11, David arrived in Haiti for Compassion International to 
tell the story of orphans and widows as he had throughout the world. 
After a day of shooting footage, he was in the Hotel Montana when the 
earthquake hit. God took David home at the age of 40. His life was an 
amazing journey filled with passion and faithfulness, and his legacy 
will endure.
