                       Tuesday, December 7, 2021

  Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today in 
recognition of Mr. Italy A. Greene's 100th birthday.
  Mr. I.A. Greene was born on December 25, 1921, in Williamsburg 
County. He graduated from Wilson High School in 1941 and enrolled in 
higher education at South Carolina State College. His time in college 
was interrupted in 1942 when he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force where he 
served for three years and was honorably discharged in 1945.
  Mr. I.A. Greene supported his local community by working in both the 
Georgetown and Darlington County school systems as a teacher, chairman, 
and principal. Once his long tenure as an educator ended, he continued 
to serve his community through various organizations such as Habitat 
for Humanity, Red Cross, United Way, Billy Hardee Homes for Boys, The 
Lord Cares Ministry, St. John's Heritage Foundation, and the Fellowship 
of Christian Athletes.
  Additionally, Mr. I.A. Greene played a large part in the growth and 
upkeep of the Bethel AME Church in Darlington. He taught bible study, 
Sunday School, and educated new members of the church for many years. 
Mr. Greene is a shining example of a true American patriot and an 
amazing role model for the people of South Carolina.
  Madam Speaker, I join the people of South Carolina in recognizing and 
congratulating Mr. Italy A. Greene on his 100th birthday and wish him 
many more happy birthdays ahead.
