                        Wednesday, March 2, 2005

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Timothy A. Knight, who courageously and 
selflessly rose to the call to duty and made the ultimate sacrifice on 
behalf of our country.
  Corporal Knight was an exceptional U.S. soldier and was an equally 
exceptional human being. His life was characterized by his unwavering 
sense of duty and commitment to our nation, and above all, his life 
reflected a deep dedication to, and steadfast focus on his family--his 
beloved wife Gina and beloved daughter, Chloe.
  A native of Brooklyn, Corporal Knight graduated from Brooklyn High 
School. Following graduation, he enlisted in the service, and planned 
on a career in law enforcement after his military duty was completed. 
Throughout his journey in the military, Corporal Knight carried with 
him a strong foundation of faith,family and community. He quickly 
ascended through the ranks, and attained the title of Corporal. 
Corporal Knight's strong intellect and solid sense of integrity evenly 
matched his sense of duty and kindness toward others. Moreover, 
Corporal Knight's life reflected his generous heart and sincere concern 
for the welfare of others. He often and easily offered his assistance 
to anyone in need, without regard to his own sacrifice.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Corporal Timothy A. Knight, whose heroic actions, commitment and 
bravery will be remembered always. I extend my deepest condolences to 
the family of Corporal Knight--his beloved wife and high school 
sweetheart, Gina M. Knight; his beloved baby daughter, Chloe; his 
beloved parents, W.C. Arrowood and Jeanne Knight; his beloved sisters 
and brothers, Karen, Michael, Samantha, David, Melanie, Sabrina and 
Brian; his beloved mother and father-in-law, Jackie Collins and Dean 
Delligatti; and his many extended family members and friends.
  The significant sacrifice, service, and courage that defined the life 
of Corporal Timothy A. Knight will be forever honored and remembered by 
the entire Cleveland community, and the entire nation. And within the 
hearts of his family and friends, especially Gina and Chloe, the bonds 
of love and memories created in life by Corporal Knight will never be 
broken, and will live on for all time.
