                       HONORING ROSARIA MARTINICO

  (Mr. BISHOP of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BISHOP of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable constituent from Rochester Hills, Michigan, Rosaria ``Sara'' 
Martinico.
  She joined so many other brave women to help the war efforts during 
World War II as one of the original Rosie the Riveters. She served the 
country by working on B-17 bombers for a good portion of the war.
  Last Sunday, Mrs. Martinico reached a milestone. Born in 1910, during 
the William Howard Taft Presidency, she celebrated her 108th birthday 
in Rochester Hills alongside her 2 daughters, 8 grandkids, 18 great-
grandkids, and 12 great-great-grandchildren. That is five generations 
of family.
  Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to represent such an outstanding and 
honorable person, and I would like to wish Mrs. Martinico a very happy 
108th birthday and thank her for her outstanding service as the 
original Rosie the Riveter.
