   HONORING MARYLAND AND LAURA ROOK ON THEIR 75TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Maryland 
and Laura Rook whose love has become a beacon of enduring commitment.
  As they are celebrating their remarkable 76th wedding anniversary, we 
are reminded of the strength of their marriage that began on May 8, 
1948.
  With family and community members at their side, we joyously 
recognized the Rooks' wedding anniversary during the town of Gaston's 
Juneteenth holiday celebration at the Lake Gaston Community Center.
  Their marriage is not just a personal milestone but a symbol of the 
strength of this community and a shining example of the power of love 
for the American people.
  As they continue on this extraordinary journey together, I extend my 
heartfelt prayers and continued happiness and blessings as they 
approach their oak anniversary.
