  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Captain Joseph 
Sadie of the Cleveland Police Department. For 43 years, Captain Sadie 
rose through the ranks of the Cleveland Police Department, tirelessly 
protecting and defending our local communities.
  In addition to his dedicated police service, Captain Sadie ran a 
local program called Cops & Kids. In the last 20 years, this program 
provided clothes, toys, food, appliances, and other necessities to 
20,000 families in need.
  Captain Sadie's passion for helping the community had him on call all 
year round; people close to him said his phone never stopped ringing. 
Despite the overwhelming need and number of requests, Captain Sadie 
always came through.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Captain 
Joseph Sadie of the Cleveland Police Department. Captain Sadie's 
leadership, kindness, compassion, and concern for others have made the 
local communities in and around Cleveland a better place. The impact of 
his dedication will carry on in the lives of all of those he helped.
