Mr. Speaker. the resolution I am introducing today is to confer citizenship posthumously on Rosinella Verdi. who died July 26. 1979. at 99 years of age. Mrs. Verdi died a few days before she was to be sworn in as a citizen in a special naturalization ceremony. Mrs. Verdi immigrated to the United States from Cesa. Italy. in 1902. She lived in this country for 77 years and raised a family of 10 children. all of whom are citizens of the United States. Mrs. Verdi sacrificed one of her sons in defense of this country during World War II and was proud to be a Gold Star mother.
