Floor Speech

Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my parents, Albert and Sarah Stutzman.

They are celebrating their 50th anniversary this Saturday, one day after Valentine's Day. I just want to acknowledge them in all that they have done for me and for my siblings.

They have really been an example of what hard work and what faith can do in a great country like America.

My dad dropped out of high school. They were married when they were very young, and they worked tremendously hard. They went through a lot of challenges in their own lives as they worked to build a better future for not only themselves but for my siblings and myself and others.

They were foster parents. They went on mission trips. They helped people in the community. They would take people into our home whenever they needed help. They were always willing to help those who were in need. They were always active in church. They were active in our schools.

I just can't say enough about how proud I am of my parents, Albert and Sarah. I just want to wish them a happy anniversary this weekend.

I love you, and I am looking forward to years ahead together.
