  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Martha and Jack Blackford of Des Moines, Iowa, on the very 
special occasion of their 60th wedding anniversary. They celebrated 
their anniversary on April 16th, 2017.

  Martha and Jack's lifelong commitment to each other and their family 
truly embodies Iowa values. As they reflect on their 60th anniversary, 
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 ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating them on this 
momentous occasion and in wishing them nothing but the best in the 
years to come.
