                        Thursday, July 12, 2012

  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to congratulate 
and extend my best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. John Underwood of Paris, 
Tennessee, on the seventieth anniversary of their wedding date.
  This is truly an event to commemorate. Seventy years of marriage is a 
milestone that speaks to the Underwood's dedication and love to one 
another. No doubt their relationship has been through both times of joy 
and sorrow, and it has served as a stable influence in the lives of 
their family.
  The seventieth wedding anniversary is often called the ``platinum'' 
anniversary. This is a fitting name, because what John and Grace share 
with each other, and with God, is indeed precious. The Underwoods are 
proud Americans and role models for us all. I am honored to salute 
their commitment to one another, their family, our community, and our 
nation. May God bless them with many more happy years together.
