  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. 
Gianluca Arcangioli for his years of dedicated service in defending 
civil liberty, both domestically and abroad. Mr. Arcangioli has 
consistently demonstrated both bravery and intelligence in the face of 
crisis.
  Born in Naples, Italy, Gianluca received officer training in 1993 and 
served as an Italian police officer until transferring to Kosovo where 
he would be awarded a medal for peace keeping. Following his completion 
in Kosovo, Gianluca Arcangioli moved to the U.S. and served as a police 
officer at the Consulate General of Italy in the cities of Philadelphia 
and New York City.
  Gianluca Arcangioli has displayed his commendable abilities on 
several occasions, including his effort in handling the Hudson River 
tragedy in New York on August 8, 2009. Officer Arcangioli was praised 
for his effort and high standards on a professional and human level as 
well as his exceptional support given to diplomats, friends, and family 
of the victims. Most recently, Mr. Arcangioli exhibited his aptitude by 
diligently dealing with the Hurricane Irene crisis in New York.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. 
Gianluca Arcangioli for his dedication to protecting the lives of many.
