(EMPIRE NEWS NETWORK—ENN)— SAN BERNARDINO, CA— Some people serve others day in and day out regardless of thanks or fanfare, and yet without them and their active involvement, the world would be a less safe and far less inspiring place. Mr. John Burks is one such individual indeed. Not only is he a chaplain with the Ontario Police Department but he is also employed as a CTE teacher at PAL Charter Academy on the Muscoy campus in San Bernardino, California. His years of hard work and dedication paid off on Friday, May 10th, when he was awarded a star at The 26th Annual Volunteer Walk of Fame. Dwaine Radden Sr., CEO of the PAL Center, said, “The accolades come as no surprise to those who work and serve alongside him. We are proud of his accomplishment and are happy that he has received the recognition he so richly deserves.”
