                  HAPPY 104TH BIRTHDAY TO ANNIE QUEEN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOUG COLLINS

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 28, 2017

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Annie 
Galloway Queen, a northeast Georgian who recently celebrated her 104th 
birthday.
  Annie has been a part of our community since her birth in 1913. She 
learned to value hard work at an early age, and her life illustrates 
the strength and diligence that characterizes America's Greatest 
Generation.
  Like many in that generation, Annie and her husband struggled through 
the Great Depression, which taught them to make the most of what little 
they had. Rather than mourn their lack of physical possessions, Annie 
educated her children in the spiritual dimension of life, teaching them 
to rely on their faith during life's most challenging seasons.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a blessing to spend birthdays surrounded by loved 
ones. I am thankful to know that that is how Annie spent hers--sharing 
with family and friends the wisdom that she has gained over 104 years.
  I am honored to be Annie's neighbor and ask that you join me in 
wishing her happy 104th birthday.
