                     HONORING ERIC AND LORI WALLIEN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 13, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Eric and Lori Wallien 
for their contributions to our state and their community.
  The Walliens are important business leaders in Shelby County. Without 
a doubt, they have made a positive and lasting impact in Shelbyville 
and embody exactly what ``Hoosier hospitality'' is meant to be. Our 
state is better off today because of Eric and Lori's extraordinary 
leadership and service in their community.
  On a personal note, their daughter, Hannah, worked for our team as an 
intern in both my Washington, DC office and state office. She is a 
dynamic young leader with a big future in front of her.
  Jennifer and I cherish our friendship with the Walliens. They were 
among my earliest and most vocal supporters and they are loyal friends 
and wise advisers. I want to thank Eric and Lori for their friendship 
and incredible support of my work in Congress and we wish them 
continued success in all that God has planned for their family.
