                        HON. H. MORGAN GRIFFITH

                        Thursday, June 22, 2023

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the marriage of 
Jerry and Bonnie Hatchett. Jerry and Bonnie celebrated 50 years of 
marriage this year, marrying on June 2, 1973, after 2 years of dating. 
During their many years together, Jerry and Bonnie have been blessed 
with 3 sons, who have in turn blessed them with multiple wonderful 
grandchildren. They started a successful trucking business, Hatchett 
Transportation, Inc., in 1982, which they still own and operate today.
  Jerry serves as President, while Bonnie serves as Secretary and 
Treasurer. I congratulate Jerry and Bonnie on their 50 years of 
marriage. I know that finding a partner to go through life with takes a 
whole lot of luck. Being married for 50 years, going through life's 
many ups and downs, takes a whole lot of work. I only hope that others 
are as fortunate as them to be able to spend so many years with the one 
they love. I pray that Jerry and Bonnie have many more happy and 
healthy years together ahead.
