                       TRIBUTE TO MIKE LANDSBERRY

  (Mr. AMODEI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AMODEI. Mr. Speaker, Mike Landsberry, a math teacher at Sparks 
Middle School, passed away just about 50 hours ago. He was 45 years 
old, an Alabama native, high school athlete, coach, husband, brother, 
dad, marine, Nevada Air Guard senior master sergeant, and a friend.
  Mike Landsberry observed the horror of an active shooter at his 
school Monday morning, and simply moved without hesitation, 
instinctively, into harm's way to protect others. In so doing, Mike 
made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the end to his students, his 
school, and his community.
  Coach, you humble us all with your warrior spirit and compassion. 
They will be your lasting legacy. Thank you for your service, and may 
you rest in peace.
