                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 14, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ms. Margaret Fletchall on the occasion of her 103rd 
birthday. She celebrated this life achievement on October 31, 2016.
  Our world has changed greatly during the course of Margaret'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. Margaret 
has lived through 17 United States Presidents and 24 Governors of Iowa. 
In her lifetime, the population of the United States has more than 
tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Margaret Fletchall in the 
United States Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 
103rd birthday. I invite my colleagues in the House of Representatives 
to join me in congratulating Margaret on reaching this incredible 
milestone. We wish her continued good health and happiness in the years 
to come.
