                         Thursday, July 1, 2010

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
the staff and volunteers of the Westside Vet Center of Parma, Ohio. 
Their dedication to providing quality health care services to the men 
and women who have sacrificed for our nation deserves the deepest 
gratitude.
  The lives of many veterans and their families have been improved by 
the outreach efforts of the Westside Vet Center. The Center provides 
vital resources, including services and assistance focused on their 
emotional, psychological, medical, financial, and employment needs.
  The quality support provided by the Westside Vet Center is the least 
that can be done for the veterans in our community--our brothers, 
sisters, sons and daughters, mothers, fathers, grandmothers and 
grandfathers--thousands of whom have suffered great personal loss 
resulting from their service.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and tribute of 
the staff and volunteers of the Westside Vet Center as they celebrate 
the Westside Vet Center's Annual Freedom Celebration. Their service and 
sacrifice will always be remembered and honored.

                          ____________________
