                      TRIBUTE TO JULIA RITA URSONE

 Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Madam President, today, I rise to recognize 
Mrs. Julia ``Julie'' Rita Ursone, a longtime Connecticut resident who 
turns 100 on January 8, 2022.
  Born in Providence, RI, Mrs. Ursone was the child of Italian 
immigrants who became U.S. citizens. She moved to Stamford, CT, in 
1947, where she has lived ever since.
  Mrs. Ursone grew up during the Great Depression and readily supported 
American efforts during World War II through factory work.
  To this day, she still lives in the house she built in 1951 with her 
late husband, who served in World War II and was an active member of 
their community. Passionate about doing her part in support of our 
Nation, Mrs. Ursone remains an active voter.
  I hope my colleagues will join me in congratulating Mrs. Julia 
Ursone, her son Lou, and the rest of her family on this milestone of 
her 100th birthday.
