Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Clinton Lorenz for being named to the IFCA Class 3A junior All-State team.

Clinton started as a lineman for my alma mater, the Greensburg High School Pirates, as a junior. On defense, he had 37 total tackles and was a consistent force on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

I want to congratulate him on an outstanding season and for representing himself with class throughout the season. I ask the entire 6th Congressional District to join me in congratulating Clinton for his dedication, execution, and excellence this season.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Pete Hood for his contribution to our state.

Pete has had a long and distinguished career working as a Human Resources executive for the United Parcel Service (UPS) in Indiana. Pete is set to retire at the end of this year. I would like to congratulate him on a long career and wish him all the best in his retirement.

Throughout Pete's career, he has been a champion for UPS's culture and values. Pete will consistently tell you that UPS is a unique company with its own way of doing things. Deliberately. Precisely. Efficiently. With Integrity. To me, Pete embodies those principles.

Over the years, Pete and I have become friends. Pete has taken me on tours of several different UPS facilities around the state, and he even convinced me to wear the iconic brown uniform and ride around in a delivery truck. I've enjoyed the time we have gotten to spend together and have appreciated his wise counsel and advice.

I would like to thank Pete for his friendship and support of my work in Congress. I wish him continued success in all that God has planned for his family.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Dogger Dickey for his contribution to our state and our District.

Dogger works for Hillenbrand Capital Partners and has been making the trains run on time for years. He has always been involved in Indiana politics and has continuously volunteered his time and resources toward improving the quality of life for his fellow Hoosiers. It has been an honor to work with him.

On a personal note, Dogger was among my earliest and most vocal supporters. He is a loyal confidant and wise adviser. I want to thank him for his friendship and support of my work in Congress. I wish Dogger continued success in all that God has planned for him and his family.
