                       Wednesday, April 20, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Elvera and Wendell Johnson of Red Oak, Iowa, on the very 
special occasion of their 55th wedding anniversary. They celebrated 
their wedding anniversary on March 17, 2016.
  Wendell and Elvera's lifelong commitment to each other and their 
family truly embodies Iowa values. It is because of Iowans like them 
that I'm proud to represent our great state.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend this great couple on their 55th year, 
weathering Iowa's many seasons in their lifelong journey. Much has 
changed since that spring day in 1961. It is with great pride that I 
wish them many more years together. I ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating them 
on this momentous occasion.
