                     Wednesday, September 14, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Vera and Bob Allen of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the very special 
occasion of their 60th wedding anniversary. They celebrated their 
anniversary on June 18, 2016 at East Side Christian Church in Council 
Bluffs.
  Vera and Bob's lifelong commitment to each other and their children, 
Tami and Randy, six grandchildren and six great grandchildren, truly 
embodies Iowa values. As they reflect on their 60th anniversary, I hope 
it is filled with happy memories. May their commitment grow even 
stronger, as they continue to love, cherish, and honor one another for 
many years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend this great couple on their 60th year together 
and I 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.

                          ____________________
