  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Madam Speaker, The Daughters of the American 
Revolution Princess Hirrihigua Chapter of St. Petersburg, Florida will 
celebrate its 100th anniversary this Saturday.
  This is a milestone event for the chapter's members who take great 
pride in fulfilling their motto of ``Service to God, Family and 
Country.'' Indeed, under the leadership of Regent Gayle Freeland, Vice 
Regent Deborah Magiolo, Chaplain Sarah Osterholt, Recording Secretary 
Judith Sallows, Treasurer Patricia Strait, Registrar Diana Clemmons, 
Historian Norma Sandvig and Librarian Mary Nic Dodd, the chapter has 
done just that.
  Chapter members have made it their priority to support our men and 
women serving abroad with their cards, letters and packages. This is a 
tradition that has carried forth ever since their founding in 1910 as 
they have supported our service members in every war and overseas 
conflict since then. In addition to serving our current heroes, they 
also serve our heroes of the past at our local VA hospitals in Bay 
Pines and Tampa.
  Named for the famous Princess Hirrihigua Indian Mound on Pinellas 
Point in St. Petersburg, Florida, the chapter members hold firm to the 
study of the history of our area and our nation. They provide 
scholarships to high school students going off to college, they hold an 
American History Contest for students, they honor Good Citizenship 
Medals to Junior Achievers, and they provide support to DAR schools for 
underprivileged students in Florida and three other southeastern 
states.
  Madam Speaker, the women of the Princess Hirrihigua Chapter of the 
DAR are proud of our nation's history and of their service to our 
nation's heroes and they seek to instill that pride in our next 
generation of citizens. Please join me in congratulating these women 
for their 100 years of service to our nation and to our heritage.
