HONORING WALTER RADCLIFFE'S 100TH BIRTHDAY
______
HON. ANDY KIM
of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, June 30, 2021
Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Walter Radcliffe's 100th birthday.
Mr. Radcliffe embodies the resilience, fortitude, and can-do-spirit of the ``Greatest Generation.'' In a time of crisis, he courageously volunteered to serve in the U.S. Navy during World War II, despite having a civilian job exemption. Mr. Radcliffe fought in the Pacific Theatre aboard the U.S.S. Isherwood. We owe him a debt of gratitude for his combat record in the Battles of Leyte Gulf and serving at Subic Bay, as well as for the valor he demonstrated during the Invasion of Lingayen Gulf and the Battle of Okinawa.
Mr. Radcliffe is beloved by his family, including his wife Dorothy of more than 38 years, his children, and grandchildren, and by his community where he's still an active member of VFW Post 10092. It is clear to everyone who knows Mr. Radcliffe that he has made the most of each of his one-hundred years.
I wish him the best on achieving this milestone and hope he enjoys a wonderful celebration.
