                        Monday, February 1, 2016

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of a special event 
that took place in my district to honor public safety personnel. On 
January 23, 2016, Chapter 63 of the International Footprint Association 
hosted ``Breakfast for Heroes'' to show their appreciation for the 
tireless work done by public safety agencies in the High Desert region 
of California.
  ``Breakfast for Heroes'' took place at the El Pescador Restaurant in 
Victorville, California and the public was encouraged to attend to show 
their appreciation. This is the first time that Chapter 63 held a 
breakfast event to honor High Desert public safety personnel and they 
anticipated a large turnout of attendees.
  Attendees were able to take tours of an ambulance, fire truck, and 
police vehicles. All proceeds from the event goes towards the Chapter 
63 Scholarship Program. The International Footprint Association is a 
non-profit community benefit organization whose mission is to foster 
positive relations between law enforcement and the public. During my 
time as a legislator, I have worked with this organization on numerous 
occasions and have always been impressed with the work they do in our 
communities. I strongly encouraged my constituents to attend 
``Breakfast for Heroes'' to show their support for the men and women 
who put their lives on the line every day.
