                      HONORING ROY AND WILMA BROWN

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to honor Roy and Wilma Brown, 
who celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary this Monday.
  Married on March 14, 1942, at the Cumberland County Courthouse, Roy 
and Wilma have remained at each other's side ever since.
  Through the ups and downs of raising five children on a family farm 
in middle Tennessee, in the early days with no running water or 
electricity, the Browns have been no stranger to hardship but have 
always leaned on the Lord. On their 69th anniversary, Wilma said: ``God 
has blessed us so much, and we are so thankful.''
  Madam Speaker, today, I thank Roy and Wilma Brown for serving as a 
reminder to all of us, both young and old, of the power and longevity 
of true love. May both Roy and Wilma have a blessed 80th anniversary, 
and may this day serve as an inspiration for generations to come.
