                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 30, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Joe and Mary Nelson of Anita, Iowa, on the very special 
occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. They were married on 
September 18, 1965, at Zion Lutheran Church in Atlantic, Iowa.
  Joe and Mary's lifelong commitment to each other, their children Jeff 
and Kim, and their grandchildren, truly embodies our Iowa values. It is 
families like the Nelsons that make me proud to call myself an Iowan 
and represent the people of our great state.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend this special couple on their 50th year 
together and I wish them many more. I ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating them 
on this momentous occasion.

                          ____________________
