                      Thursday, February 18, 2021

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 100th 
birthday of Warren, Arkansas native, Mr. David Mclinton Green. Born on 
February 13, 1921, Mr. Green has lived a life of hard work, 
perseverance, and service to God and country.
  Leaming the value of a work ethic at a young age, his first job was 
at the Dr. Pepper Bottling Company in Warren. After being drafted into 
the Army at age 22, Mr. Green served for three years alongside 
thousands of young men during World War II. This service continued 
throughout his near 40-year career at local mills and Potlatch Deltic. 
He and his wife, Lillie Mae Feaster Green, had 7 children, and over 
their 66 years of marriage, they watched their family grow to include 
18 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great 
grandchildren.
  I take this time today to honor the life of service exemplified by 
Mr. Green and his family. In his 100th year, he continues to represent 
the very best of our nation's greatest generation, and I thank him for 
his significant impact upon the advance of freedom and the American 
Dream.
