                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, July 8, 2024

  Ms. SCHOLTEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of my 
constituent, Frank Charles Bielecki, who turns 100 years old on August 
28th of this year. Mr. Bielecki has dedicated his life to our country, 
his family, and Michiganders.
  Bielecki served in the United States Army for three years, where he 
worked as a Private and Tec 5 Cook at Fort Custer in Michigan. Bielecki 
spent 60 wonderful years with his wife Dorothy Joan Kulak, and he is a 
proud father to three sons, a grandfather of seven, and a great 
grandfather of eleven. Before retiring in 1986, he worked at Rapistan 
Conveyors in Grand Rapids for over 31 years.
  When asked about his secret to longevity, Bielecki recalls always 
working hard, staying healthy, and eating plenty of Vernors and Little 
Debbie Honey Buns. From raising generations of Michiganders to serving 
our country, Bielecki has inspired so many people across the Third 
District. I applaud the positive impact he continues to make in our 
West Michigan community.
  Mr. Speaker, once more I ask my colleagues to join me in commending 
Mr. Bielecki for his lifelong commitment to family, community, and 
service; and to Mr. Bielecki, I wish him another happy, healthy, and 
fulfilling year ahead.
