                        HON. PETER J. VISCLOSKY

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 28, 2012

  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sincerity and respect 
that I offer congratulations to several of Northwest Indiana's most 
talented, dedicated, and hardworking individuals. On Saturday, December 
1, 2012, the Roofers Local Union 26 will honor the graduating class of 
2012 at the Annual Apprentice Graduation Banquet, which will be held at 
the Patio Restaurant in Merrillville, Indiana.
  At this year's banquet, the Roofers Local Union 26 will recognize and 
honor the following individuals who have completed their apprentice 
training in 2012: Jeremy Villarruel, Curtis Mueller, Jason Gutierrez, 
Jeremy Marsh, Mike Sallee, Fausto Jimenez Jr., Kevin Cooper, Travis 
Nuss, Chris Kittle, Tommy Haynes, and David Garcia.
  Northwest Indiana has a rich history of excellence in its 
craftsmanship and loyalty by its tradesmen. These graduates are 
outstanding examples of each. They have mastered their trade and have 
demonstrated their loyalty to both the union and the community through 
their hard work and tireless dedication.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in congratulating these dedicated and hardworking individuals. 
Along with the other men and women of Northwest Indiana's unions, these 
individuals have committed themselves to making a significant 
contribution to the growth and development of the economy of the First 
Congressional District, and I am very proud to represent them in 
Washington, D.C.
