         HONORING GEORGE AND NORMA CARPENTER OF ALLEN, MICHIGAN

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the love, dedication, 
and faithfulness of George and Norma Carpenter of Allen, Michigan.
  In 1943, in the midst of a war George bravely served in, George and 
Norma were married. Soon they will be celebrating their 80th 
anniversary.
  Throughout the years, George and Norma have continued to set an 
example for our community, not only

through their dedication to each other, but also to their faith as 
devoted members of the Countryside Bible Church.
  George and Norma are currently 98 and 97 years old, respectively, and 
are still strong in their health as well as their love for each other.
  With over 100 descendants, the Carpenters have left a tremendous mark 
on the community and beyond. I would like to recognize this remarkable 
couple and congratulate them as they celebrate their extraordinary 
milestone.
