                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 21, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ms. Anna Linkey on the occasion of her 100th birthday on 
September 4, 2016.
  Our world has changed immensely during the course of Anna's life. 
Since her birth, we have revolutionized air travel and walked on the 
moon. We have invented the television, cellular phones and the 
internet. We have fought in wars overseas, seen the rise and fall of 
Soviet communism and witnessed the birth of new democracies. Anna has 
lived through seventeen United States Presidents and twenty-four 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Anna Linkey in the United 
States Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 100th 
birthday. I invite my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives 
to join me in congratulating Anna on reaching this incredible 
milestone, and wishing her even more health and happiness in the years 
to come.
