   COMMEMORATING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE THEODORE H. HERNANDEZ 
                   AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY UNIT 54

  (Mr. BEAN of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, you know every birthday with a zero 
in it is special, but what about a birthday with double zeros? That 
makes it double special.
  Such is the case for the 100th anniversary of the Theodore H. 
Hernandez American Legion Auxiliary Unit 54 in my hometown of 
Fernandina Beach, Florida. This auxiliary holds a special place in my 
heart, as my mother was a member for many, many years.
  The auxiliary has supported and continues to support community 
organizations on the first coast such as the Nassau County Council on 
Aging, and Adopt-a-Soldier, and so many others.
  On May 29, 2023, members will celebrate 100 years of serving our 
veterans, military, and their families in northeast Florida.
  Hopefully, Mr. Speaker, they will celebrate with a very big cake.
  I congratulate the Theodore H. Hernandez American Legion Auxiliary 
Unit Number 54 on 100 years of amazing service, and I can't wait to see 
what they do with the next 100.
