Today I rise to celebrate Gordon Fowler's remarkable 100th birthday, a century of enduring wisdom and service. Gordon's journey began on a humble Iowa farm in 1923, instilling in him the values of hard work and resilience during the Great Depression. His education and involvement in 4-H and FFA set the stage for a life dedicated to giving back. In World War II, Gordon followed the path of Charles Lindbergh, his childhood hero, into the Army Air Corps, joining the brave American HUMP Pilots Association, who embarked on perilous missions flying over the Himalayan mountains. After his service, he returned to Iowa, raised a family with his wife, Sharon, and embarked on a successful 50-year career in advertising. Gordon served as a Scoutmaster, a Sunday schoolteacher, and also supported Junior Achievement, and shaped the lives of countless young individuals. May his wisdom continue to inspire us for many years to come. Let's all wish this World War II veteran a happy birthday. Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
