                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 14, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Vera Daughton on the celebration of her 100th birthday. 
Vera celebrated her 100th birthday on April 5th, 2015.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Vera's life. 
Since her birth, we have revolutionized air travel and walked on the 
moon. We have invented the television, cellular phones and the 
internet. We have fought in wars overseas, seen the rise and fall of 
Soviet communism and witnessed the birth of new democracies. Vera has 
lived through seventeen United States Presidents and twenty-four 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Vera in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 100th birthday. 
I invite my colleagues in the House to join me in congratulating Vera 
on reaching this incredible milestone, and wishing her even more health 
and happiness in the years to come.

                          ____________________
