“I rise today to honor World War II veteran and Franklin County resident Sam Worley as he celebrated his 104th birthday this past weekend. In 1942, Sam was drafted into the U.S. Air Force and by 1943 was stationed in England as a member of the Eighth Air Force's First Bomb Group. Sam was tasked with decoding incoming orders for American bombers and their fighter plane escorts, which is a critical role that allowed our planes to carry out devastating bombing runs over Europe. After his discharge in 1945, Sam and his wife moved to Chambersburg where they raised their children, Bill and Elaine. However, Sam's service to his country did not stop when he returned from World War II. Sam has been incredibly active in Franklin County, serving as a judge of elections, Franklin County commissioner, Chambersburg Council president, and mayor of Chambersburg. Sam Worley's commitment has never slowed down. Sam is still a vibrant member of our community, bringing so much love and joy to everyone whom he meets. On behalf of everyone throughout Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, I want to personally wish Sam a happy 104th birthday.”
