                        Wednesday, June 20, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Gertrude and Fred Matthies of Walnut, Iowa on the very special occasion 
of their 75th wedding anniversary. They were married on June 7, 1943 at 
the Catholic parsonage in Avoca, Iowa.
  Gertrude and Fred's lifelong commitment to each other and their 
family truly embodies Iowa values. As they reflect on their 75th 
anniversary, I hope it is filled with happy memories. May their 
commitment grow even stronger, as they continue to love, cherish, and 
honor one another for many years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend this great couple on their 75th 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.
