  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully request the 
attention of the House to pay recognition to an important day in the 
lives of two constituents and friends of mine, Mr. and Mrs. Rick 
Raisanen.
  On December 4, 2009, Rick and Molly Raisanen will celebrate their 
50th wedding anniversary. Rick was born on November 27, 1939, and his 
wife, Molly, was born on July 7, 1940.
  The couple met at the skating rink at Fort McClellan. They married on 
December 4, 1959 at Centurion Chapel at Fort McClellan.
  Over the years, Rick and Molly have been blessed with two children, 
Keith and Kelli; and four grandchildren, Molly Kristen, Olivia, Emma 
Grace and Braden. Rick retired from Bell South and Molly retired from 
Jacksonville State University.
  On Saturday, December 5, the couple along with their family and 
friends will celebrate their anniversary at Saks Baptist Church.
  I would like to congratulate my friends, Rick and Molly, for reaching 
this important milestone in their lives. They are shining examples of 
love and dedication for us all, and I wish them and their family all 
the best at this important occasion.
