  Mrs. SPARTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bronice Odell 
Bradley of Carmel, Indiana who will turn 100 years old on April 9, 
2025.
  At 18 years old, Mr. Bradley enlisted in the U.S. Army and was 
assigned to Company A 394th Infantry, which was a tank division under 
General George Patton. He endured subzero weather at the Battle of the 
Bulge. While operating a machine gun on his tank, he was struck by 
shrapnel and later hospitalized for 13 months. Private First Class 
Bradley was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army on December 7, 
1945.
  After retiring from the military, Mr. Bradley and his wife bought a 
small distribution business, which they operated for 44 years.
  My fellow Hoosiers and I wish Mr. Bradley a happy birthday and send 
him our deepest appreciation for his service to our country during his 
long and productive life.
