                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 9, 2021

  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, recently, I had the pleasure of 
attending Maria Procopio's 100th birthday party. Maria has been a 
Vineland resident for 62 years. She was born in November of 1921 in the 
town of Montauro, Italy. In 1938, Maria married Giovanni Procopio and 
they immigrated to the United States in March of 1959. Maria and 
Giovanni have eight children, eleven grandchildren, and ten great 
grandchildren. On November 22, 2021, the Mayor of Vineland, Anthony 
Fanucci, recognized and celebrated the 100th birthday and longevity of 
Maria's life. I hope that Maria had a great birthday and it was an 
honor to be able to attend her birthday party. God Bless Maria, and God 
Bless our America.
