                        Monday, January 23, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Pat and John Montgomery of Council Bluffs, Iowa, for their 
many years of volunteer services at Christian Home Association-
Children's Square in Council Bluffs. They began volunteering at 
Children's Square in 1989.
  Pat and John have spent the past 28 years volunteering at Children's 
Square, where they have sorted, organized, and displayed donated 
clothing and toys. These items are available to children in need on the 
Children's Square campus, as well as foster families served by 
Children's Square. The Christian Home Association-Children's Square USA 
is a private, not-for profit organization founded on December 23, 1882. 
It has a rich history of caring for children from birth to 21 years old 
and their families, meeting their individualized needs, instilling hope 
and helping restore lives.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Pat and John for the dedicated service they 
have provided to Children's Square and for their care and concern for 
children in need. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives join me in congratulating Pat and John for their 
many years of volunteer service and in wishing them nothing but the 
very best.
