  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
United States Marine Corporal Brad D. Squires, who bravely and 
selflessly heeded the call to duty and made the ultimate sacrifice on 
behalf of our country.
  Corporal Squires' life was framed by his family, friends and his 
community. He gained personal strength and faith from those who knew 
him best and loved him most, especially from his wife, Julie Squires. A 
kind and understanding soul, Corporal Squires was always willing to go 
the extra mile for an individual in need. His commitment to helping 
others was reflected in his studies to become a firefighter.
  Corporal Squires was blessed with physical strength, a high level of 
intelligence and a courageous heart. His humble nature prevented him 
from reveling in the many honors and commendations that he received 
throughout his years in the service.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Corporal Brad D. Squires. I extend my deepest condolences to his 
wife, Julie; his parents, Donna Squires and Bruce Squires; his brother 
Chad and sister Jodie; his grandmother, Jackie Squires; his sister-in-
law, Sharon Squires; his brothers-in-law, Mike Bogdan and Mike 
Brandyberry; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Dorothy and Rev. 
Simeon Brandyberry; his nephew Chad; his nieces, Cassidy and Alexis; 
and his extended family and many friends.
  The significant sacrifice, service, and bravery that characterized 
the life of Corporal Brad D. Squires will be a legacy and testament to 
all that is good in humanity, and his life will be forever honored and 
remembered by the Cleveland community, and the entire nation.
