                         Thursday, May 15, 2025

  Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a truly 
remarkable Journey--the dedication, perseverance, and unwavering 
commitment that has brought Oslene Ducady to this moment becoming a 
citizen of the United States of America.
  Born in Haiti, the fifth of nine children, Oslene came to this 
country chasing a dream, not for herself, but for her future children. 
She moved to Green Cove Springs in the great state of Florida, where 
she met her husband, Alix.
  For 35 years, she built a life, raised six incredible children, and 
poured her heart into her community. Yet through it all, she nurtured 
the quiet fire within--a flame fueled by ambition, determination, and 
the unwavering pursuit of a place to call home.
  And this week, that pursuit reaches its pinnacle On Friday, May 16, 
2025. Oslene will raise her hand and take the Oath of Allegiance, 
becoming a proud citizen of the United States of America.
  My office was honored to play a small part in helping her navigate 
the final steps of that journey. Her story is a reminder that the 
American Dream is not always fast or easy, but it is real, and it is 
still worth fighting for.
  I congratulate Oslene and her family. Today, we celebrate not just a 
new citizen, but a dream realized.
