  Mr. FALLON. Mr Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 50 years of 
marriage between Jimmy and Hava McClintock of Heath, Texas. They have 
made significant contributions to our community and are longtime 
advocates for the U.S.-Israel alliance.
  Jimmy is a native Texan, while Hava was born in a small town outside 
of Tel Aviv. They first met each other in Israel, where they married in 
1973. For seven years, they lived in Israel. In 1983, Jimmy and Hava 
moved to Rockwall, Texas, before settling in Heath.
  During their many years together, Jimmy and Hava have made it their 
life's mission to advocate for our shared Judeo-Christian values. Since 
1976, they have organized private and congregational tours to Israel. 
These tours have strengthened the friendship between communities and 
highlighted Israel's important struggle for peace and security.
  Furthermore, Jimmy and Hava are board members of their local chapter 
of the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), where they provide 
material support to the IDF and support Israel's right to defend 
itself. They also serve on the boards of God's Grace International and 
Netivyah, where they coordinate humanitarian assistance for Holocaust 
survivors in Israel and those in need. I commend Jimmy and Hava for 
working diligently to aid those facing difficult circumstances so that 
they will not be overlooked.
  I have requested the United States flag to be flown over our Nation's 
Capitol in recognition of Jimmy and Hava McClintock's impressive 
milestone. It is truly wonderful to commemorate their five decades of 
happiness and joy, and here's to many more. May God Bless them.
