  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Dessie 
Radu of Bedford, Texas in celebration of her 100th Birthday.
  Mrs. Dessie Radu is a valued member of the Bedford community who has 
bettered the lives of countless people throughout North Texas. Whether 
she is spending time with her large family, catching up with lifelong 
friends, or talking with someone she doesn't know yet, there is no 
doubt that she leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. 
Dessie spent years traveling the world with her husband, Major (Ret) 
John Radu II, as he served our Nation for 24 years in the United States 
Air Force. Following in his father's footsteps, Dessie's son John Radu 
II served 4 years in the United States Air Force and was a Vietnam 
veteran. Today, we come together to recognize the 100 years Dessie has 
spent with us, and the impact that she has and continues to make on our 
lives.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me--and Dessie's many family, friends, and 
loved ones--in recognizing Dessie and wishing her a happy 100th 
birthday.

                          ____________________
