                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. BONNIE WATSON COLEMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 19, 2018

  Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Mr. A. 
Robert Tindall on his 91st birthday that was celebrated on January 5, 
2018.
  A. Robert Tindall, or known by his friends as Bob, was born in 
Trenton on January 5, 1927. Bob is one of a few remaining American 
veterans who has served our country during World War II.
  Bob served as a Radioman in the United States Navy, where he was 
stationed on a minesweeper. During the war, Bob served his country by 
helping to detect underwater mines that could have done great harm to 
our fleets. Because of his invaluable service, Bob's work helped 
countless ships from being destroyed and in time saved thousands of 
lives.
  After leaving the Navy, Bob attended Rider College in New Jersey and 
then Drexel University in Philadelphia where he studied mechanical 
engineering. While attending college, Bob's father owned a real estate 
business and asked Bob to assist. His work with his dad in real estate 
eventually led him to start his own career in real estate and 
insurance. Today, Bob resides in Ewing. He has three children, four 
grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Bob on his birthday, and to thank him for his service to 
this country. Let us never forget the sacrifice he and others like him 
made to protect the United States of America.
