  Mr. FULCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish Alice Merriman a very 
happy 100th birthday, who will be celebrating her milestone on 
September 26, 2025.
  In 1925, Alice was born on a farm in Battle Creek, Nebraska. Fifty 
years ago, Alice moved to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Alice worked hard to 
achieve her master's degree in Idaho.
  After working diligently to complete her degree, Alice spent the next 
twenty years working in Idaho. Together with her husband, Bob, Alice 
raised two children. Alice has exemplified the values of perseverance, 
dedication, and hard work. Alice's dedication to her family and her 
faith exemplifies true determination and courage.
  Alice and her family have consistently embodied the traditional 
values we cherish in Idaho.
  I thank Alice Merriman for her incredible example of perseverance and 
fearlessness. I wish her a very happy birthday.
