  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize, congratulate, and 
celebrate Horizon Transport in Wakarusa, Indiana as they mark 40 years 
in business and excellence in service.
  For four decades now, this 100% employee-owned company has been a 
staple of Indiana's Second District because of their record of 
delivering quality service for local RV manufacturers. In 1984, Melvin 
Schrock and his wife Ruth Ann Schrock founded Horizon Transport after 
recognizing the need for a transport company that would provide 
professional, high quality, and prompt deliveries to local RV 
manufacturers. And for the past 40 years, RV Transport has been doing 
exactly that.
  In Congress, I am proud to represent and be an advocate for the ``RV 
Capital of the World,'' a unique industry that is such a source of 
pride as well as economic activity and opportunity for our area. It 
takes many dedicated, professional individuals and businesses to make 
the RV industry fire on all cylinders and operate as well as it does. 
Horizon Transport is clearly one of those businesses, a business that 
has been recognized and appreciated for maintaining a family feel after 
all these years.
  As CEO, Marion Schrock has continued his parents' proud legacy and 
commitment to excellence. He has also demonstrated his commitment to 
his employees by selling Horizon Transport to his employees through 
their Employee Stock Ownership Plan, making the company now 100% 
employee owned.
  Congratulations again to the Schrock family, Horizon Transport, and 
all of their dedicated employees on achieving this impressive milestone 
and on their even more impressive legacy of excellence. I look forward 
to celebrating many more milestones, accolades, and satisfied customers 
of yours in the years ahead.
