CELEBRATING THE 100TH BIRTHDAY OF WORLD WAR II VETERAN, MR. DAVID
MCLINTON GREEN
______
HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN
of arkansas
in the house of representatives
Thursday, February 18, 2021
Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 100th birthday of Warren, Arkansas native, Mr. David Mclinton Green. Born on February 13, 1921, Mr. Green has lived a life of hard work, perseverance, and service to God and country.
Leaming the value of a work ethic at a young age, his first job was at the Dr. Pepper Bottling Company in Warren. After being drafted into the Army at age 22, Mr. Green served for three years alongside thousands of young men during World War II. This service continued throughout his near 40-year career at local mills and Potlatch Deltic. He and his wife, Lillie Mae Feaster Green, had 7 children, and over their 66 years of marriage, they watched their family grow to include 18 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great grandchildren.
I take this time today to honor the life of service exemplified by Mr. Green and his family. In his 100th year, he continues to represent the very best of our nation's greatest generation, and I thank him for his significant impact upon the advance of freedom and the American Dream.
