                      Thursday, September 25, 2008

  Mr. TERRY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize two of my 
constituents, Jed and Joyce Robertson, who this Sunday will celebrate 
their 50th wedding anniversary. Jed Robertson moved to Omaha in 1958 
after attending trade school. Joyce followed him, and that same year 
they married and moved to Valley as newlyweds.
  Jed and Joyce represent the hardworking stability of good 
Midwesterners. The same year they were married they hosted their first 
Thanksgiving dinner for their extended family. Jed and Joyce have 
continued that tradition by hosting Thanksgiving dinner every year 
since, and this November they will follow their 50th wedding 
anniversary with their 50th Thanksgiving dinner.
  In their years together, Jed and Joyce raised two children, Kim and 
Kirk, and are blessed with four grandchildren: Meghan, Matt, Jeremy and 
JC.
  Today I want to honor this great accomplishment that represents not 
only their love together but the values of Nebraska I'm proud to 
represent in Congress.
