  Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Mildred 
Davidson of Sweet Home, Arkansas, in honor of her 100th birthday.
  Ms. Mildred Davidson grew up as one of 11 children and went on to 
work when she was just nine years old, helping her mother with her work 
as a maid, laundress and raising her other siblings. Those who know 
her, and her life story will tell you, Ms. Davidson's dedication to 
serving others is clear.
  She worked for 25 years at the Arkansas Confederate Home providing 
care to poverty-stricken veterans, their widows and their orphans.
  She was later hired into her dream job as an employee at the Holiday 
Inn at Sixth and Broadway, where her work spanned nearly two decades 
and included assignments on the hotel's seventh floor, which was 
reserved for special guests. Ms. Davidson was known for being an 
exemplar worker, making certain to treat every guest with respect.
  Today, she dedicated her time to being with her grandchildren and has 
plans to grow a vegetable garden this summer, just as she has done 
throughout her life.
  I give my best wishes to Ms. Davidson and her family in celebration 
of her 100th birthday, and I commend her for her decades spent caring 
for others.
