  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Cuyahoga 
County Community College, Ohio's oldest community college, as the 
college hosts this year's Memorial Day Celebration along with the 
Memorial Day Association of Greater Cleveland.
   Cuyahoga County Community College (Tri-C) opened in 1963 and now 
serves more than fifty-five thousand credit and non-credit students 
each year. Tri-C provides students with a first-rate education 
environment with professors who are committed to their success at their 
three traditional campuses. Tri-C also offers students the option to 
earn their associate degree, participate in certificate programs and 
complete two years of a baccalaureate degree at two Corporate College 
locations, over fifty off-campus sites, and through various distance 
learning options.
   Cuyahoga County Community College is one of the premier sites for 
many of the major cultural, community and sporting events that more 
than five-hundred thousand Greater Cleveland Area residents attend 
throughout the year. The college hosts one of the nation's largest 
educational Jazz festivals, Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland. This year the 
college hosts the annual Memorial Day Celebration, State Senator Robert 
F. Spada as the guest speaker, who has been representing Ohio since 
1999.
   Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in recognizing Cuyahoga 
County Community College as they host this years Memorial Day 
Celebration and for the college's contributions to the Greater 
Cleveland Area.
