  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Valley 
Screen of Mishawaka on receiving the Indiana Governor's Half-Century 
Business Award.
  The Half-Century Business Award is a special recognition of a local 
company's service to its employees, our community, and the State of 
Indiana. Fifty years of growth and success is an incredible 
accomplishment, and I applaud the entire Valley Screen team for staying 
at the cutting edge of innovation in a highly competitive world.
  Valley Screen employs more than 60 people in our community and 
provides quality services to some of northern Indiana's key industries. 
This local business is an exceptional example of the high-quality 
customer service, business ingenuity, and potential for growth that 
American entrepreneurs and workers strive to achieve. I am grateful for 
the good jobs Valley Screen continues to provide the hardworking 
Hoosiers in our community.
  I also want to thank Karen Barnett, Valley Screen's president and 
CEO, for her exceptional leadership and for providing so much of the 
vision, perseverance, and innovation that has contributed to the 
success of this business in Indiana and beyond. For the past 20 years, 
she has played a crucial role in building our state's positive business 
climate. I am confident that with leaders like Karen, Indiana's economy 
can continue to flourish.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Indiana's 2nd District, I want to thank 
Valley Screen and all its hardworking employees, past and present, for 
their commitment to innovation and service to the Hoosier community for 
50 years. Congratulations to Valley Screen on a half-century of 
excellence. I am excited to see what the future holds for you and your 
customers.
