              SALUTING JACKSON NORTHEAST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

  (Mr. SCHAUER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SCHAUER. Mr. Speaker, today I salute Jackson Northeast Elementary 
School students. I was with them last Tuesday when they presented a 
flowering plum tree and a plaque at the Jackson Police Station in 
memory of city police officer James Bonneau who was shot and killed in 
the line of duty on March 6 while responding to a domestic call. 
Blackman Township officer Darin McIntosh was also shot and injured in 
this incident.
  On their own, these students raised $210 for this project. The 
students also presented handmade quilts to Chief Matt Heins for the 
family of Officer Bonneau.
  Jackson Northeast Elementary students demonstrated that every person 
can make a difference no matter their age or size. They reminded my 
community and our Nation that Officers Bonneau and McIntosh are heroes 
and so are all men and women in uniform who report to work every day to 
keep us safe.
  Thank you Northeast Elementary students for setting an example for 
all of us to follow.
