                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 25, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Tressa Myrtle Epps on the up-coming celebration of her 
110th birthday on March 30th, 2015.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Tressa's 
life. Since her birth, we have revolutionized air travel and walked on 
the moon. We have invented the television, cellular phones and the 
internet. We have fought in wars overseas, seen the rise and fall of 
Soviet communism and witnessed the birth of new democracies. Tressa has 
lived through eighteen United States Presidents and twenty-four 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Tressa in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 110th birthday. 
I invite my colleagues in the House to join me in congratulating Ms. 
Epps on reaching this incredible milestone, and wishing her continued 
health and happiness in the years to come.

                          ____________________
