Madam Speaker. I am honored to join with my colleague. Mr. COSTA. to recognize these two brothers. Mario and Joe Simoes. for their accomplishments as both immigrants and farmers. After the death of their mother when they were only 9 years old. Mario and Joe. aged 15. along with their father and younger sister. emigrated from Portugal in search of a better life for their family. Their first jobs were with the Manuel Faria and Sons Dairy in California. In 1970. some 20 years after coming to America. Mario and Joe bought their first dairy farm from this same family.
