  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker:
  Whereas, March 11, 2008, marks the day Ernest and Lena Todd have been 
lovingly married for 75 years; and
  Whereas, their marriage represents the true spirit of love, 
compromise and support; and
  Whereas, their life together from humble beginnings as a coal mining 
family in Tennessee have prospered into a loving extended family in 
Ohio consisting of 260 children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, 
and great-great-grandchildren; and
  Whereas, Ernest and Lena Todd represent the belief that love is 
eternal and will overcome all obstacles, for richer, for poorer, for 
better, for worse--forever; now, therefore, be it
  Resolved, That along with her friends, family, and the residents of 
the 18th Congressional District, I wish Ernest and Lena Todd a happy 
and healthy 75th wedding anniversary. We recognize the amazing 
commitment of love, friendship, and support these two people have made 
to each other and their family and the brightness and hope they have 
brought to those they have touched.
