                  IN RECOGNITION OF SHARNISHA BRAZZELL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 12, 2007

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Sharnisha Brazzell 
as the recipient of the inaugural Tuskegee Scholarship, and to 
recognize the North Coast Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen for their 
service to our country.
  As a member of the East Technical High School JROTC program, 
Sharnisha has demonstrated a strong desire to serve her country. As the 
2007 Tuskegee Scholarship winner, Sharnisha will have the opportunity 
to develop her aviation skills as a student at the Summer Flight 
Academy of the Black Airline Pilots Association. Her hard work and 
dedication will take her to new and exciting heights, and I wish her 
luck in all her future endeavors.
  Sharnisha will be carrying on a proud tradition of service to the 
United States started by the original Tuskegee Airmen. In the face of 
prejudice and segregation, the Tuskegee Airmen flew over 1,500 missions 
during World War II to help defeat Nazism and the spread of 
intolerance.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Sharnisha 
Brazzell as the recipient of the inaugural Tuskegee Scholarship. May 
she carry on the proud tradition of Black Aviation started by the 
Tuskegee Airmen.

                          ____________________
