HONORING LUCILLE PATTON HOLLOWAY FOR HER DEDICATED SERVICE DURING WORLD 
                                 WAR II

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Lucille 
Patton Holloway for her dedicated service to the United States through 
her civilian work contributions during World War II.
  Mrs. Holloway is a part of a special group of women who answered the 
call to duty when the Nation needed civilians to aid the war effort.
  Lucille worked at the Douglas Aircraft Company in Elsinore, 
California, assembling wings for the B-17.
  She also worked at the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant in Minden, 
Louisiana, manufacturing various types of weaponry.
  She was working at this plant on the day the Japanese surrendered on 
September 2, 1945.
  Her actions, hard work, and we-can-do-it attitude contributed 
directly to our victory in World War II and represent the highest 
ideals of service of the United States of America.
  Madam Speaker, I extend to her my personal thanks and our sincere 
appreciation of a grateful Nation for her service to our great Nation. 
My best wishes to her and may God bless her and her family.
