                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 10, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Dula and Betty Thompson of Lewis, Iowa, on the very 
special occasion of their 70th wedding anniversary. They married on 
October 11, 1945 in Troy, Kansas.
  Dula and Betty's lifelong commitment to each other and their 
children, Marvin, Bill, Lanette, and Ken, along with their 
grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchild, truly 
embodies our Iowa values. It is families like the Thompsons 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 70th year together 
and I wish them many more. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating them on this 
momentous occasion.
