RECOGNIZING ITALY A. GREENE
______
HON. TOM RICE
of south carolina
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, December 7, 2021
Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Mr. Italy A. Greene's 100th birthday.
Mr. I.A. Greene was born on December 25, 1921, in Williamsburg County. He graduated from Wilson High School in 1941 and enrolled in higher education at South Carolina State College. His time in college was interrupted in 1942 when he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force where he served for three years and was honorably discharged in 1945.
Mr. I.A. Greene supported his local community by working in both the Georgetown and Darlington County school systems as a teacher, chairman, and principal. Once his long tenure as an educator ended, he continued to serve his community through various organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Red Cross, United Way, Billy Hardee Homes for Boys, The Lord Cares Ministry, St. John's Heritage Foundation, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Additionally, Mr. I.A. Greene played a large part in the growth and upkeep of the Bethel AME Church in Darlington. He taught bible study, Sunday School, and educated new members of the church for many years. Mr. Greene is a shining example of a true American patriot and an amazing role model for the people of South Carolina.
Madam Speaker, I join the people of South Carolina in recognizing and congratulating Mr. Italy A. Greene on his 100th birthday and wish him many more happy birthdays ahead.
