                        Wednesday, June 13, 2007

  Mrs. MYRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a great couple who 
are a wonderful example of what is right with America. John and Joan 
Shamp just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary! Sadly, in 
America, it has become a rare thing for two people to stay together 
this long.
  They are the proud parents of five children and very involved in the 
lives of their grandchildren. They exemplify achieving the American 
dream through hard work, and they demonstrate the love of a strong 
family who are there to help each other and others daily. I wish them 
many more happy years!
