                        Tuesday, January 9, 2007

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
pay tribute to an honorable man, Robert L. Hadley Sr. His commitment 
towards his family and his hard work has made him a commendable role 
model for all of America's future generations.
  Born on April 13, 1919, Mr. Hadley was raised to hold strong to his 
faith and valued the beliefs embedded in him from his childhood. His 
everyday life and career reflected those praiseworthy values.
  In 1937, after the completion of his studies Mr. Hadley entered into 
the car sales industry with a zest for leaming. In 1941, he was called 
upon by his country to serve in the Army during WWII. He courageously 
contributed his time to protect our Nation.
  Mr. Hadley completed his service to the U.S. Army and returned to his 
loving wife and son. He then continued working hard in the automotive 
sales industry while ensuring his son grew up to become an admirable 
young man. The life lead by Mr. Hadley has undoubtedly become a legacy.
  On behalf of the Dallas, TX community, I commend Mr. Robert Hadley's 
admirable achievements.
