                      Wednesday, December 6, 2023

  Mr. McCORMICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Mr. John Robert 
McGrath Sr.'s 100th birthday and honor his service in the U.S. Navy 
during World War II. Born and raised in a small town outside of 
Pittsburgh, Mr. McGrath made the decision to join the U.S. Navy in 1942 
to fight for his country. Following the end of the war, Mr. McGrath 
earned a degree from the University of Pennsylvania before beginning 
his career as a mortgage banker.
  Although his service to his country came to a close, his service and 
generosity to his community continued throughout his life, as he was 
known to make soup for the elderly and care for the sick. Mr. McGrath 
has always been a dedicated husband and father and is beloved by his 
large family, with ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. He 
currently lives in Roswell, Georgia.
  It is an honor to celebrate Mr. McGrath on this incredible milestone, 
and I am proud to be his Representative. I wish him and his family many 
more happy years to come.
