  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Virginia Staton 
DeRossett of the First District of Kentucky who is turning 100 years 
old on November 1st. Ms. DeRossett is a Clinton County resident.
  Ms. DeRossett diligently served her country throughout her 20-year 
tenure at the Pentagon, retiring in 1962. In addition to her civil 
service during World War II and the Korean war, her three brothers 
served in our nation's military, further solidifying her sense of duty.
  Ms. DeRossett remains an engaged member of the community who 
continually seeks opportunities to better the lives of her fellow 
citizens. Ms. DeRossett's patriotic spirit and dedication to her 
country are rivaled only by her fervent commitment to her family and 
her conservative ideology.
  I join with her family and loved ones, including her daughter and her 
extended family, in celebrating her lifetime of accomplishments and 
recognizing her valiant efforts serving our Nation.

                          ____________________
