WISHING TREVA GREEN A HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY
______
HON. TOM RICE
of south carolina
in the house of representatives
Monday, January 25, 2021
Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor an extraordinary South Carolinian, Ms. Treva Green of Conway and wish her a happy 100th birthday.
Ms. Green was 18 years old when she volunteered to become a nurse with the U.S Army. She served our nation in England, France, and Germany during World War II. Following the war, Treva and her husband moved to Conway and served the Grand Strand community as a nurse for over four decades. Wow.
Her commitment to her nation and community are truly admirable. She is a shining example of the best of our country. Ms. Green is now enjoying retirement in Conway. Treva recently said ``I've done everything the Lord wants me to do, or at least I tried to and asked for forgiveness for everything I couldn't get by. I'm happy to be alive and I'm happy to be able to tell my story.'' We should all live by this sentiment.
Madam Speaker, I join her family and friends in wishing Treva Green happy 100th birthday! I am sure they are excited to see her reach this incredible milestone.
