Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E255] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING MR. BRONICE ODELL BRADLEY ______ HON. VICTORIA SPARTZ of indiana in the house of representatives Thursday, March 27, 2025 Mrs. SPARTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bronice Odell Bradley of Carmel, Indiana who will turn 100 years old on April 9, 2025. At 18 years old, Mr. Bradley enlisted in the U.S. Army and was assigned to Company A 394th Infantry, which was a tank division under General George Patton. He endured subzero weather at the Battle of the Bulge. While operating a machine gun on his tank, he was struck by shrapnel and later hospitalized for 13 months. Private First Class Bradley was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army on December 7, 1945. After retiring from the military, Mr. Bradley and his wife bought a small distribution business, which they operated for 44 years. My fellow Hoosiers and I wish Mr. Bradley a happy birthday and send him our deepest appreciation for his service to our country during his long and productive life. ____________________
