  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Carl and Heide Hagar on their 
50th Wedding Anniversary, which they will be celebrating on July 10, 
2015.
  Carl was born in Oklahoma and grew up in Arkansas. After Carl joined 
the United States Army, he was deployed to Germany. During his time in 
Germany, he met his wife, Heide, who was born in Altenmunster, Germany. 
Through their married years they lived in Germany, Vietnam, and the 
United States. Carl and Heide settled in Iberia, Missouri and have 
lived there since 1979. After 22 years of service in the United States 
Army, Carl retired. Heide worked in the Mess Hall at Fort Leonard Wood, 
Missouri for 29 years. They have raised three children, Lou Ann Elmore, 
Walter Stephen Hagar, and Jeffery Andrew Hagar.
  Marriage is a sacred institution that represents true love, 
commitment, and dedication to family. This is a special time to 
celebrate and showcase the depth of your love and devotion to one 
another.
  I ask you in joining me in recognizing Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hagar on 
this momentous occasion.
