  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to Sergeant Major

Cleveland, Ohio. Sergeant Major Beasley has served as Assistant 
Instructor and Military Property Custodian at Collinwood High School 
for the past 12 years.
  Sergeant Major Beasley is a valued member of the faculty at 
Collinwood High School and has earned the reputation of being an 
outstanding teacher and mentor to young adults. He is highly regarded 
in the community for his dedication to the cadets in the Army JROTC 
program at Collinwood. Through the Army JROTC, over 1200 students have 
been directed under his tutelage.
  Sergeant Major Beasley also served in the 4th Infantry Division in 
Vietnam where he demonstrated leadership in combat as a platoon 
sergeant and acting platoon leader. There he distinguished himself 
earning a Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, and the Combat Infantryman's 
Badge.
  Sergeant Major Beasley's selfless service, superior achievement and 
loyal dedication to the youth of the City of Cleveland are 
immeasurable. On behalf of the nation and the constituents of the 11th 
Congressional District of Ohio, I thank you for your service and 
tremendous sacrifices you have made for our country. Congratulations on 
your retirement and on a job well done.
