                       Friday, September 9, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Donna and Van Lobendo of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the very 
special occasion of their 70th wedding anniversary. They were married 
on June 8, 1946 in Glenwood, Iowa. They were the owners of the Council 
Bluffs Hatchery and Donna's Beauty Salon.
  Donna and Van's lifelong commitment to each other, their children, 
Stanley and Dani, six grandchildren, 13 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 and for 
continued hope for the future.
  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 join me in congratulating them on this 
momentous occasion.
