                         Friday, August 2, 2019

  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize and honor 
Dolores and Will Gresham of Somerville, Tennessee on the very special 
occasion of their 40th wedding anniversary.
  Dolores and Will were married on August 2, 1969. Together, their 
lives have been marked by service to their community, with both 
retiring from the United States Marine Corps with the rank of 
Lieutenant Colonel. During her military service, Dolores completed USMC 
Amphibious Warfare School, USMC Command and Staff College, and an MS in 
Industrial Management at George Washington University before she and 
Will returned to a cattle farm in West Tennessee where they currently 
live. Dolores has served in the Tennessee State Senate since 2008.
  In addition to their service, their marriage of forty faithful years 
embodies the values of Tennessee which have and will keep our state and 
our nation strong. There is no doubt that they have lived an All-
American life with their family--raising Hereford cattle on their farm, 
investing in their neighbors, and holding fast to their strong values 
and shared faith, giving us all an ideal to which we can aspire. May 
their commitment grow even stronger as they love, cherish, and honor 
one another for many years to come.
  Madam Speaker, I commend this great couple on their 40th year of 
marriage. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating them on this momentous 
occasion.

                          ____________________
