  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Bernie and Connie Pettinger of Anita, Iowa, on the very 
special occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. Bernie and Connie 
married in 1965.
  Bernie and Connie's lifelong commitment to each other and their 
children, Paul, Dave, Mark, Kathy, Kim and Amy, their grandchildren, 
and great-grandchildren truly embodies Iowa values. I commend this 
devoted couple on their 50th year together and I wish them many more. I 
know my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives will 
join me in congratulating them on this momentous occasion and in 
wishing them and their family nothing but the best moving forward.
