                        Tuesday, April 14, 2015

  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Mr. 
Melvin and Mrs. Frieda Dow on their 57th Wedding Anniversary, which 
occurred on March 23, 2015.
  Marriage is one of the most sacred and intimate covenants that two 
people may enter into, and the Dows' attainment of 57 years of 
matrimony is worthy of commendation. May their union continue to be 
richly blessed as they work collectively to nurture each other, their 
lovely family, and their community. I am certain that the love and care 
that they have for one another will continue to grow and flourish in 
years to come.
  As we celebrate the matrimony of the Dows, we also honor their large 
family which currently includes five sons and twelve grandchildren. I 
salute the Dows on their wedding anniversary, and I know that their 
love will continue to be an inspiration to us all.

                          ____________________
