  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Patty and Elvin Shafar on the very special occasion of their 70th 
wedding anniversary.
  Elvin and Patty were married on May 13, 1946 and made their home in 
Bedford, Iowa. Their lifelong commitment to each other embodies Iowa's 
values. As the years pass, may their marriage continue to grow even 
stronger and may they continue to love, cherish, and honor one another 
for many more years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend this lovely couple on their 70 years of life 
together and I heartily wish them many more. I know my colleagues in 
the United States House of Representatives will join me in 
congratulating them on this momentous occasion.
