                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 24, 2017

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, the world has changed much over the last 
100 years. If you want to know just how much, ask Mrs. Margaret Moorman 
of Arkadelphia, Arkansas. In 1917, the U.S. faced uncertainty as 
President Woodrow Wilson prepared our nation for World War I. But all 
was not bleak. 1917 was also when Loretta Walsh became the first female 
petty officer in the U.S. Navy and women were granted the right to vote 
in New York state elections.
  In her 100 years of life, Mrs. Moorman saw America win two world wars 
and put a man on the moon. She has lived through the administrations of 
18 presidents of the United States and experienced the American dream.
  She worked for 20 years as a food service director, dedicating her 
life to making sure children had a full stomach in order to learn and 
grow.

  At 100-years-old, Mrs. Moorman is surrounded by many loved ones, 
including her three children, six grandchildren, and 13 great 
grandchildren. As Mrs. Moorman celebrates her 100th birthday on Friday, 
March 30, 2017, I would like to wish a her a happy birthday.
