                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 10, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Edwin and Barbara Blank of Shenandoah, Iowa, on the very 
special occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. They were married 
in 1965.
  Edwin and Barbara's lifelong commitment to each other and their 
family truly embodies our Iowa values. It is families like the Blanks 
that make me proud to call myself an Iowan and represent the people of 
our great state.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend this great couple on their 50th year together 
and I wish them many more. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives will join me in congratulating them on 
this momentous occasion.
