                HONORING MARINE CORPORAL KYLE SCHNEIDER

  (Ms. BUERKLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BUERKLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I wish to 
inform the House of Representatives that on June 30, 2011, Marine 
Corporal Kyle Schneider of Phoenix, New York, in Onondaga County was 
killed by an improvised explosive device while serving in Helmand 
province, Afghanistan.
  Corporal Schneider was born in Syracuse and lived in Baldwinsville, 
New York, for most of his life. He was a graduate of Baker High School 
and attended Onondaga Community College for a year before enlisting in 
the Marine Corps in 2008. Corporal Schneider is survived by his 
parents, Richard and Lorie Schneider; a brother, Kevin; and his 
fiancee, Theresa Lynn Dodge of West Columbia, Texas.
  Corporal Schneider was a proud and valiant marine. But he was also a 
son, a brother, a grandson, a fiancee, friend, and comrade. He will be 
greatly missed, and no words will diminish the grief of those who knew 
and loved him. In his death, he has earned the thanks of a grateful 
Nation.
