                        Wednesday, July 29, 2015

  Mr. MOONEY of West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to 
congratulate Congressman Ken Hechler and Carol Hechler on reaffirming 
their commitment to each other in their marriage on August 8th. 
Congressman Hechler has honorably served the amazing state of West 
Virginia for over fifty years, first as a combat historian in the 
United States Army during World War II, then as the Representative of 
the 4th district and as West Virginia's Secretary of State. I am 
overjoyed that Congressman Hechler has decided to honor and uphold the 
sacred institution of marriage with his wife, Carol.
  I join with their families, friends, and loved ones in congratulating 
Congressman Hechler and his wife Carol on this momentous occasion. I 
wish the reaffirmed couple the best of luck, and long, happy lives 
together.
