  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Alvin and Eula Blankenship of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the very special 
occasion of their 80th wedding anniversary.
  Alvin and Eula's lifelong commitment to each other, their daughter, 
two grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and three great-great 
grandchildren embodies our Iowa values. All five generations were on 
hand to help Alvin and Eula celebrate this very special day. I salute 
this devoted couple on their 80th year together and I wish them many 
more years of happiness. I know my colleagues in the House will join me 
in congratulating them on this momentous occasion. I wish them and 
their family all the best moving forward.
