                   TRIBUTE TO DEXTER AND BIRDIE YAGER

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. SUE WILKINS MYRICK

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 31, 2007

  Mrs. MYRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a great couple who 
are a wonderful example of what is right with America. Dexter and 
Birdie Yager are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Sadly, in 
America, it has become a rare thing for two people to stay together 
this long.
  They are the proud parents of seven kids. The Yager family is 
extremely close--even working in a very successful business together. 
They exemplify achieving the American dream through hard work, and they 
demonstrate the love of a strong family who are there to help each 
other and others daily. I wish them many more happy years!
