                          HONORING PAUL THIEM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHRIS PAPPAS-

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 28, 2022

  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 104th 
birthday of Paul Thiem. Born on April 1, 1918, Mr. Thiem is a veteran 
and a resident of Wakefield, New Hampshire. During World War II, he 
answered the call of his nation and joined the U.S. Army Corps. Paul is 
an honorable member of our community, and is a beloved husband, father, 
grandfather, and great-grandfather.
  As a young patriot, Paul went above and beyond the call of duty in 
his service to his country, but his service to others does not end 
there. Following his military service, Paul traveled around the world, 
building factories that made shoes for nurses. His travels brought him 
to places such as Poland, Italy, Spain and Korea.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I want to wish Mr. Thiem a happy 104th birthday and thank him 
for his service to our Nation. I hope that he has a wonderful 
celebration with his loved ones and fellow veterans. His sacrifice will 
not be forgotten.

                          ____________________
