RECOGNIZING MEMBERS OF THE OHIO NATIONAL GUARD WHO ARE SERVING
CLEVELAND FOODBANKS
______
HON. MARCY KAPTUR

Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize our fine men and women from the Ohio National Guard who have risen to a challenge on the home front as our communities wrestle with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. When our local foodbanks began to see increases in people needing food to feed themselves and their families, even as the pandemic imposed restrictions on staff and volunteers to help, we were able to work with the Ohio National Guard to send units to help distribute food to our neighbors. This food has been a lifeline to those served, who through no fault of their own were left jobless, without funds, unsure of the future, and hungry.
Truly, the Ohio National Guard lives up to its motto, ``Always ready! Always there!'', and we cannot thank them enough for their compassionate and brave service.
Those serving the Cleveland area include: CAPT Keffer, SGT Fowler, SGT Jarkewicz, SGT Buzi, SGT Wooden, SGT Billingsley, Jared Kaczur, Aaron Kaczur, Tonya Sypolt, Bobby Shepherd. The Greater Cleveland Foodbank has recognized these individuals for going ``above and beyond to help'' at its weekly drive-through distribution and deliveries of groceries to older adults.
