  Mr. HALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Sam and Dorothy 
Young who just celebrated their 50th Anniversary. Their commitment to 
each other and their family is an inspiration and a wonderful reminder 
of the importance of family, particularly during the holiday season.
  Sam and Dorothy, high school sweethearts at Lockett High School, were 
wed on August 4, 1963 at Lockett Baptist Church shortly after Sam 
joined the Navy. Over the past five decades, Mr. and Mrs. Young have 
been blessed with three children--Trent, Christi, and Todd--and seven 
grandchildren--Dane, Zachary, Teressa, Sammi, Jacque, Gracie, and 
Aubrey.
  The Youngs moved to Mount Vernon, Texas in the early 1980's when Sam 
was transferred with AO Smith Harvestore Silos. The family later owned 
and operated Donuts Etc. in Mount Pleasant, Mount Vernon, Pittsburg, 
and Winnsboro. Sam and Dorothy continue to actively participate in the 
community, and since

2002, Sam has served Franklin County as Commissioner for Precinct 4.
  Sam and Dorothy Young are blessed to have had so many happy years 
together, and I wish them many more happy years in the future. Mister 
Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebration of the Young's 
50th Wedding Anniversary.
