                       Thursday, January 20, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Lieutenant Bruce F. Gunsch upon his retirement from the Rocky River 
Police Department after more than 30 years of dedicated service.
  Lieutenant Bruce F. Gunsch was born in Lakewood, Ohio on April 23, 
1949. After graduating from St. Edward High School in 1967, Mr. Gunsch 
served in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1971, achieving the rank of 
Sergeant. He earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from 
Cleveland State University in 1976.
  Lieutenant Gunsch began his career with the Rocky River Police 
Department on February 14, 1977. He was promoted to Sergeant in 1984 
and Lieutenant in 1987.
  The life of a police officer is one of true selflessness and service, 
and Lieutenant Gunsch is no exception. Each day the brave men and women 
of law enforcement put their lives on the line for the good of their 
communities.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of Lieutenant 
Bruce F. Gunsch for his exemplary service on behalf of his community. 
Lieutenant Gunsch's dedication to making Rocky River a safer place to 
live and work is honorable and inspiring. At the age of 61, Lieutenant 
Sharp has served and protected the people of Rocky River with courage 
for 34 years. We thank him for his service and wish him health and 
happiness.
