From a press release:
U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) will officiate a Valentine’s Day ceremony to renew the wedding vows for a dozen couples living in Illinois who have been married 50 years or more.
Couples celebrating their life-long love and commitment include Leo and Marge Jacobs who were married April 29, 1942. The couple plan to celebrate their 63rd wedding anniversary this year. As a reminder of the life they started together, the Jacobs posses a photograph of themselves kissing each other before Leo boarded a train to serve his country in World War II. Leo was a member of the Aurora National Guard and was sent to Hawaii after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The Aurora News Beacon took the photograph.
