  Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of World 
War II veteran Alice Beatty and to honor her service in the Women's 
Auxiliary Army Corp.
  Alice Beatty was born in Conway, Arkansas on August 23, 1921. At the 
age of 21, Alice joined the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps and landed on 
the beach at Normandy just weeks after D-Day.
  Alice Beatty was awarded the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign 
Medal with one bronze star, the World War II Victory Medal, three 
overseas service bars, and the Women's Army Corps Service Medal in 
recognition of her service during World War II.
  Alice was also the first woman in the state of Arkansas to receive 
the French Legion of Honor Medal.
  Alice was a pioneer of her time, and I am proud to highlight her 
service to our Nation and honor her memory during Women's History 
Month.
