  Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor an 
extraordinary South Carolinian, Ms. Treva Green of Conway and wish her 
a happy 100th birthday.
  Ms. Green was 18 years old when she volunteered to become a nurse 
with the U.S Army. She served our nation in England, France, and 
Germany during World War II. Following the war, Treva and her husband 
moved to Conway and served the Grand Strand community as a nurse for 
over four decades. Wow.
  Her commitment to her nation and community are truly admirable. She 
is a shining example of the best of our country. Ms. Green is now 
enjoying retirement in Conway. Treva recently said ``I've done 
everything the Lord wants me to do, or at least I tried to and asked 
for forgiveness for everything I couldn't

get by. I'm happy to be alive and I'm happy to be able to tell my 
story.'' We should all live by this sentiment.
  Madam Speaker, I join her family and friends in wishing Treva Green 
happy 100th birthday! I am sure they are excited to see her reach this 
incredible milestone.
