[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 9] [House] [Page 12399] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING CORPORAL KEVIN CUETO (Ms. ZOE LOFGREN of California asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. ZOE LOFGREN of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the life and service of Marine Corporal Kevin Cueto of San Jose, California, who was killed in action on June 24, 2010, in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. He was 23 years old. Kevin was born in Santa Clara County, and grew up in San Jose, moving to Campbell while in high school to live with his dad. At Westmont High School, Kevin was a member of the football, baseball, and wrestling teams, as well as the Reserve Officers Training Corps. Following high school, determined to serve his country and his family, Kevin enlisted in the Marines, and was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Marine Expeditionary Force, based in Twentynine Palms, California. Corporal Cueto served a tour in Iraq in 2009 before being deployed to Afghanistan earlier this year. Last week, he was tragically killed when his patrol was struck by a roadside bomb while conducting combat operations. His awards and decorations include the Purple Heart, the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. Corporal Cueto leaves behind his parents and a younger brother. I extend my sincerest gratitude to him and my condolences to his family. I ask every Member of the House to join me in honoring his service to our country. ____________________
