  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
celebrate the 100th birthday of Miriam Keller Siefken. Born on December 
2, 1921, Mrs. Siefken grew up in Abington, Pennsylvania and was a 
graduate of Abington High School. She then raised her three children, 
Barbara, Edward and Larry with her late husband, Edward A. Siefken. 
Edward was a United States Army Veteran and served in the 9th Armored 
Division and the 52nd Armored Infantry Battalion. He also served at the 
Battle of the Bulge and Remagen Bridge and attained the rank of 
Sergeant. Together they raised a wonderful family. She is a proud 
grandmother of four as well as a great grandmother of three.
  Today, our community is celebrating Mrs. Siefken's birthday at 
Neshaminy Manor. We wish her well in the upcoming year and for many 
years to come. I ask that my colleagues join me in wishing a Happy 
Birthday to Mrs. Siefken and a profound thank you for her contributions 
to our community.
