                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 26, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ms. Lorraine Galvani of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the 
celebration of her 100th birthday.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Lorraine'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. Lorraine 
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 Lorraine in the United 
States Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 100th 
birthday. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Lorraine on reaching this 
incredible milestone, and wishing her even more health and happiness in 
the years to come.
