                      Wednesday, September 7, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Viola and Myron Roker of Glenwood, Iowa, on the very special occasion 
of their 70th wedding anniversary. They were married on June 2, 1946 in 
Beatrice, Nebraska.
  Viola and Myron's lifelong commitment to each other, their seven 
children, 21 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, and one great-
great-grandchild, truly embodies Iowa values. As they reflect on their 
70th anniversary, I hope it is filled with happy memories. May their 
commitment grow even stronger, and may they continue to love and 
cherish one another for many years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend this great couple on their 70th year together 
and I wish them many more. I know my colleagues in the United States 
House of Representatives will join me in congratulating Viola and Myron 
on this momentous occasion.
