            HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY ALBERT AND SARAH STUTZMAN

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my parents, Albert 
and Sarah Stutzman.
  They are celebrating their 50th anniversary this Saturday, one day 
after Valentine's Day. I just want to acknowledge them in all that they 
have done for me and for my siblings.
  They have really been an example of what hard work and what faith can 
do in a great country like America.
  My dad dropped out of high school. They were married when they were 
very young, and they worked tremendously hard. They went through a lot 
of challenges in their own lives as they worked to build a better 
future for not only themselves but for my siblings and myself and 
others.
  They were foster parents. They went on mission trips. They helped 
people in the community. They would take people into our home whenever 
they needed help. They were always willing to help those who were in 
need. They were always active in church. They were active in our 
schools.
  I just can't say enough about how proud I am of my parents, Albert 
and Sarah. I just want to wish them a happy anniversary this weekend.
  I love you, and I am looking forward to years ahead together.
