                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 14, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Perry Lutheran Home in Perry, Iowa, as it celebrates 
its 60th anniversary this year.
  With the help of the Lutheran Home for the Aged Association, the 
Perry Lutheran Home was opened in 1956 in the former Dallas County 
Hospital building. Over the years, the Home has continued to expand to 
better serve those who needed its care. Their mission remains constant: 
``to treat each resident and tenant with respect in a cheerful, loving 
atmosphere that will encourage a positive attitude among and between 
those who are served and those who do the serving.'' Though 60 years 
can change any organization, the care and compassion of the staff of 
the Perry Lutheran Home has never wavered. Our communities are stronger 
because of the Perry Lutheran Home. I am confident that it will 
continue that excellence for another 60 years.
  I thank The Perry Lutheran Home for their 60 years of service and 
know my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating them on this momentous occasion.

                          ____________________
