                        Friday, August 30, 2019

  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
honor Dolores and Will Gresham of Somerville, Tennessee on the very 
special occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary.
  Dolores and Will were married on August 2, 1969. Together, their 
lives have been marked by service to their community, and both retired 
from the United States Marine Corps with the rank of Lieutenant 
Colonel. Dolores has also served in the Tennessee State Senate since 
2008.
  In addition to their service, their marriage of fifty faithful years 
embodies the values of Tennessee which have and will keep our state and 
our nation strong. There's no doubt that they have lived an All-
American life with their family; raising Hereford cattle on their farm, 
investing in their neighbors, and holding fast to their strong values 
and shared faith, giving us all an ideal to which we can aspire. May 
their commitment grow even stronger as they love, cherish, and honor 
one another for many years to come.
  Madam Speaker, I commend this great couple on their 50th year of 
marriage. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating them on this momentous 
occasion.

                          ____________________
