                         HONORING HUBERT MILLS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 7, 2017

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, the world has changed much over the last 
100 years. If you want to know just how much, ask Mr. Hubert Mills of 
Hot Springs, Arkansas. The year of Mr. Mills' birth was eventful--the 
U.S. faced uncertainty as President Woodrow Wilson prepared our nation 
for World War I, the Chicago White Sox won the world series, and the 
man who would become the 35th U.S. President, John F. Kennedy, was 
born.
  In his 100 years of life, Mr. Mills saw America win two world wars 
and put a man on the moon. He has lived through the administrations of 
18 presidents of the United States and experienced the American dream.
  During 100 years, he has worked a variety of jobs from driving a 
sprinkler truck at the local race track at age 20 to working as a 
driver for Railway Express. But Mr. Mills made a name for himself 
building homes in the Hot Springs region, retiring at the age of 95, 
though he still does work for his many customers.
  At 100-years-old, Mr. Mills is surrounded by many loved ones, 
including his three children, six grandchildren, and 11 great 
grandchildren. As Mr. Mills celebrates his 100th birthday on Friday, 
June 9, 2017, I would like to wish him a happy birthday.
