  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Nellie Hunter, a 
great Hoosier who is celebrating her l00th birthday.
  Nellie was born on July 31, 1918, in Argos, Indiana. A lifelong 
resident of northern Indiana, Nellie exemplifies the strong Hoosier 
values we all cherish. She is compassionate, hardworking, and active in 
her community. Nellie has built a meaningful life for her family filled 
with strength, love, and generosity. Because of Nellie's longstanding 
dedication to her church, devotion to her family, and love of country, 
northern Indiana is a better place to live.
  Nellie is a shining example of what it means to achieve the American 
Dream. She has a true passion for learning and for giving others the 
opportunity to grow and succeed. Having earned her GED at age 81 and 
received the Adult Student of the Year award from the State of Indiana, 
she is an incredible inspiration and a role model to us all. Her story 
reminds us to never give up on our dreams. It is an honor to help 
celebrate Nellie's positive contributions to the world.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Indiana's 2nd District I want to thank 
Nellie for the joy she brings to our lives and offer my congratulations 
and best wishes on this occasion. I wish her many more years of 
continued health and happiness.
