               HONORING ARTHUR BOURGEOIS'S 100TH BIRTHDAY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHRIS PAPPAS

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 6, 2024

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Arthur Bourgeois 
of Exeter, New Hampshire on his 100th birthday. A World War II Navy 
Veteran, active community member, and loving family man, Arthur has 
shown what it means to devote his life to his loved ones, community, 
and country.
  On this special day, I commend Arthur on his distinguished lifetime 
that exemplifies service and dedication. During World War II, 
individuals like Arthur sacrificed their lives to defend our freedom 
and democracy. His contributions have left a mark on our nation's 
history and the world. His bravery and selflessness during one of the 
most tiresome times in American history has not gone unnoticed. The 
sacrifices made and the challenges overcome speak volumes about 
Arthur's character and will serve as an inspiration for generations to 
come.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I want to thank Arthur Bourgeois for his service and wish him 
a happy 100th birthday. While we can never fully repay our debt of 
gratitude, we recognize and applaud his decades of service. I look 
forward to seeing what his next chapter holds, and I wish him all the 
best in his future endeavors.
