                       Monday, September 15, 2014

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize Mr. and Mrs. Carey McCain who have been married 57 
years and serve as clergy in Lee County, Alabama.
  Carey and Betty met at Hank's Drive-In in Alexander City, Alabama, in 
1956 after Carey's return from serving in the Air Force. They were 
married in Jackson, Mississippi on July 22, 1957.
  The McCains moved to Iowa, Texas, New York and Pennsylvania before 
moving back in Alabama in 1969. In 1970, Betty and Carey began 
spreading the gospel throughout Alabama and Georgia. Betty began her 
evangelistic ministry in 1977 serving for 22 years and then became a 
pastor for eight years.
  Carey and Betty raised three children and are the proud grandparents 
of six grandchildren. Children include: Lisa McCain, Linda Lollar who 
passed away on May 5, 2012 and Susanne Boyd.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking Mr. and Mrs. McCain for their 
tireless service in the Lee County community.
