  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pauline 
Biedka, a remarkable constituent from my district, and to pay tribute 
to her on the celebration of her 100th Birthday on April 13, 2024.
  The daughter of Philomena and Luke Della Vella, Pauline was born on 
April 13, 1924 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--one of nine children 
Pauline married her husband Peter, a World War II Veteran in 1942. They 
moved to Bristol, Bucks County and built their forever home. They had a 
daughter and two sons.
  Pauline was a ``Rosie the Riveter'' during World War II and the 
Korean War. During that time, she worked at Fleetwings and Kaiser Metal 
in Bristol, Pennsylvania. In addition, Pauline was a Neshaminy School 
District crossing guard for twenty-five years.
  Pauline was and still is a devoted wife, remains an amazing mother, 
grandmother of six, and great-grandmother of twelve.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my esteemed colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives to please join me in extending our heartfelt 
congratulations, sincere well-wishes, and all of God's Blessings to 
Pauline Biedka on the celebration of her 100th Birthday.
