                        Friday, August 26, 2011

  Mr. GONZALEZ. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
the McAfee family for celebrating their 70th family reunion in San 
Antonio, Texas.
  On Saturday, August 27, 2011, members of the McAfee family will 
gather at Rodriguez City Park in San Antonio to celebrate a tradition 
of coming together that has lasted 70 years. The McAfee Family Reunion 
began in 1941 with the family of William and Charlotte Newton McAfee, 
and their nine children. This year, four of the McAfee children from 
the initial reunion will be celebrating their 70th continuous McAfee 
Family Reunion: Harold McAfee, Delton McAfee King, Doris McAfee Walker, 
and Joseph McAfee.
  At the core of American values is a commitment to family, and I want 
to thank all of the members of the McAfee family for their incredible 
dedication to each other. They are truly a model for families all 
across our great country, and I am honored to have their family 
celebrate such a tremendous milestone in my district. The McAfee 
family's steadfast embodiment of family values is an inspiration, and I 
wish them years of continued happiness for generations to come.
