                         REMEMBERING LEE ADRIAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TONY CARDENAS

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, July 6, 2018

  Mr. CARDENAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of one of 
my constituents, Lee Adrian.
  Lee was an active member of our community, serving as Block Captain 
for the Strathern Neighborhood Watch in North Hollywood, where he 
worked tirelessly with law enforcement agencies, private organizations, 
and individual citizens to reduce crime and improve our community. He 
was also involved with the Community Police Advisory Board for the Los 
Angeles Police Department Foothill Division that supports the 
Neighborhood Watch.
  A proud patriot, Lee was known for displaying an American flag 
outside his home for pedestrians to admire. He was also a veteran of 
the United States Air Force. His love for country translated to Lee's 
involvement with community advocates, faith leaders, and government 
officials to make our community a better place for everyone.
  He and his wife worked relentlessly on the Whitsett Avenue ``VINTAGE 
NORTH HOLLYWOOD'' mural until its dedication in 2014, with a drought-
resistant garden on both sides of the mural. The large mural was a 
community effort, which can now be enjoyed by motorists traveling on 
Whitsett Avenue and on the 170 Freeway, north of Sherman Way.
  I hope Mr. Adrian's legacy is never forgotten, and that his passion 
of giving back to the community inspires others to follow his lead.
