  Mr. KIM. Mr. Speaker, I rise before the House floor today to pay 
tribute to Tannetie Verhoeven who will be celebrating her 100th 
birthday on August 11. Truly, this is an extraordinary occasion. The 
city of Chino has greatly benefited from her decades of continued 
dedication and commitment to community service.
  Ms. Verhoeven has witnessed two World Wars, the Great Depression, the 
founding of the United Nations, man walking on the moon, as well as 
many other monumental events our

country has faced. She has seen this country through its greatest 
triumphs and the most arduous of times. Ms. Verhoeven is a shining 
image of what American dreams are built upon. Her wisdom has helped 
shape the future of many people in her community.
  Ms. Verhoeven has played an integral role in her community by 
possessing simple human compassion and kindness, along with a 
culmination of determination and drive.
  I commend Ms. Vernhoeven on a lifetime of the many contributions she 
has given both her family and community. My most since wishes for more
