                      RECOGNIZING THE JOURNEY HOME

                        Wednesday, April 2, 2014

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize The Journey Home, 
a veterans homeless shelter in east-central Indiana.
  On March 21, 2014, The Journey Home started serving disadvantaged 
veterans throughout 5 Indiana counties. The program will help veterans 
overcome challenges such as homelessness, addiction, alcoholism, and 
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The organization functions as a 6-month 
program in which veterans make a personal commitment to recovery and 
establish an environment of support for when they leave the shelter.
  The Journey Home serves Delaware, Henry, Jay, Randolph, and Wayne 
Counties. I want to personally recognized Bill Davis, Linda DeHaven, 
and Mike Kennedy for the tremendous effort each individual contributed 
to make this project happen. Through passion for our veterans and 
dedication to seeing a positive change, these three people have helped 
create an organization that will benefit our veterans, their families, 
and their neighbors.
  I ask the entire 6th Congressional District to join me in recognizing 
the incredible potential impact The Journey Home will have on the 5 
counties it serves in Indiana. This nonprofit organization demonstrates 
the great work that can be done when hardworking individuals come 
together to improve their community and the quality of life of others.
