        RECOGNIZING THE NORTHEAST INDIANA BASE COMMUNITY COUNCIL

                       Wednesday, April 11, 2018

  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Northeast Indiana Base Community Council and its annual Race for the 
Warrior. Across eleven counties in northeast Indiana, the NIBCC is 
working with over 30 community groups, making my district one of 
America's most engaged regions when it comes to supporting our 
military.
  The Race for the Warrior is the hallmark for the NIBCC. In its fourth 
year, proceeds from the event raise funds for the NIBCC Military 
Support Fund. This fund provides one-time grants to local military 
members for emergency relief, as well as other military and veterans 
support programs.
  I am proud of the work the NIBCC does on behalf of our active duty 
servicemembers, veterans, and their families in my district.
