            CELEBRATING THE 100TH BIRTHDAY OF LIDIA TUBIELLO

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the recent 
100th birthday of longtime Bucks County, Pennsylvania, resident, Lidia 
Tubiello.
  A resident of Nockamixon, Lidia has consistently been a role model, 
showing all of us that hard work and serving others is the calling that 
we all have.
  A bona fide Rosie the Riveter, Lidia answered the call during World 
War II and began work as a welder in western Pennsylvania, where she 
helped assemble transport vessels. The ships that Lidia worked on 
played a critical role in the invasion of Normandy.
  Lidia's husband, Frank, was drafted to the United States Army. Once 
the war was over, Lidia and Frank set up their permanent residence in 
Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The couple welcomed seven loving children: 
Frank, Ralph, Sam, Paul, Laurie, Lisette, and Loretta.
  As their children grew and they had their own families, the large 
Italian-American family came together for traditional Italian meals 
during frequent Sunday dinners.
  Mr. Speaker, we are all extremely fortunate to have Lidia in our 
community. Her hard work and service are something that we should 
honor.
