  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Robert A. Poole, a 
man who is dedicated to his family, his country and his community. He 
was honored on March 28, 1998 by the Veterans of Foreign Wars for his 
leadership in the organization.
  Robert served in the United States Army from 1968-1970 and was sent 
to Vietnam with I-Core and the 101st Airborne Division in 1969. He has 
been active in the VFW since 1979 and is a life member of Andrew A. 
Bachleda Post 2850 on West 61st Street in Cleveland, Ohio. Robert 
served as Post Commander twice and also became active in the County 
Council, serving as Commander from 1989-1990. He has been involved in 
District Seven and was honored as a five star Cottie Commander and all 
state Quartermaster. Robert has served on numerous committees and has 
held countless chairmanships. He is currently Cuyahoga County Council 
Commander.
  His wife, Susan, his sons, Robert, Matthew, Brian, and his 
grandchildren must be proud of the dedication Robert has shown to them 
and to his community. My fellow colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing a truly great American.
