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. ____________________
