  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Lorraine Gentry on the celebration of her 100th birthday. 
Ms. Gentry celebrated her 100th birthday on April 22nd, 2015.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Ms. Gentry'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. Ms. 
Gentry 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 Ms. Gentry 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 Ms. Gentry on reaching this incredible milestone, and 
wishing her even more health and happiness in the years to come.
