  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor two wonderful 
Texans, Maria and Richard Stone, who are celebrating their 60th wedding 
anniversary on November 14, 2018.
  In addition to being a living husband and father, Richard is a 
decorated Army veteran who honorably served for over 25 years, 
including two tours in Vietnam. He then worked for the government in 
logistics at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. He received the Bronze Star, Army 
Commendation Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Combat Infantryman's 
Badge, Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm, and the German 
Army Marksman badge in bronze.
  Maria and Richard now reside in Frisco, Texas. Congratulations to 
them on this 60 years of marriage together. May they continue to love, 
cherish, and honor one another for many more years to come.
