“Mr. Speaker I rise today to pay tribute to Mitzie Wilson, an outstanding American, friend and neighbor from Charleroi, Pennsylvania, my hometown. She, her husband, Don, and her son, Glenn, are considered pillars of the community. She will celebrate her 70th birthday on January 17, 2002. We wish her a happy birthday and many more to come. While many of us in Congress talk about the importance of family values, Mitzie and her family serve as a model that every American should emulate. They are the first to offer to take neighbors for doctor visits, pick up prescriptions at a drugstore, and shovel walks for elderly neighbors. As if that were not enough, her son is a volunteer firefighter in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Mascara and I have been the recipients of their kind acts. Finally, Mitzie served our country as a member of the Air Forces, United States Air Force serving in Guam. Happy birthday, Mitzie. We are proud to know you and to be considered your friend.”
