                      Tuesday, September 13, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the City of 
Parma Fire Department's 9/11 Memorial dedication ceremony. The Parma 
Fire Department will also be revealing an I-beam from the World Trade 
Center that will serve as a memorial to the victims of the events on 
September 11, 2001.
  The Parma Fire Department is one of fifteen Northeast Ohio fire 
departments that have received portions of steel from the fallen World 
Trade Center. Parma firefighters will dedicate and unveil the beam at 
the Parma Fire Department training center at Parmatown Mall on 
Saturday, September 10, 2011. Parma firefighter, Doug Turner says, 
``This artifact will serve as a memorial to the innocent victims of the 
attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, 
Pennsylvania.''
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring and 
remembering some of the country's bravest heroes, the fallen 
firefighters and all those who sacrificed their lives on September 11, 
2001 at the City of Parma Fire Department's 9/11 Memorial dedication 
ceremony.
