                      HON. SANFORD D. BISHOP, JR.

                      Wednesday, September 5, 2018

  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor and pleasure to 
extend my personal congratulations to Robert H. ``Bob'' Hurt, who is 
the driving force behind Hurt, Norton & Associates in Washington, D.C. 
Bob will be receiving The Order of Saint Maurice from the National 
Infantry Museum Association on Wednesday, September 5, 2018 at 9:30 
a.m. at Hurt, Norton & Associates' D.C. headquarters.
  A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Bob received a Bachelor's of History 
degree from Mercer University and a Master's degree in Special Studies 
(Legislative Affairs) from George Washington University. Bob served his 
country as an Infantry and Intelligence Officer with the Army's 173rd 
Airborne Brigade and the 5th Special Forces Group in Vietnam.
  For almost three decades, Bob served as a highly distinguished public 
servant. He built an impressive career first as a Washington 
Correspondent for The Atlanta Constitution. He then served as Chief of 
Staff and Administrative Assistant for former Senator Sam Nunn of 
Georgia. After leaving government service, Bob collaborated with Frank 
Norton to establish Hurt, Norton & Associates, a government affairs, 
marketing, and lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. Since its inception in 
1997, Hurt, Norton & Associates has served clients in the public and 
private sectors both in the United States and overseas.
  Dr. Benjamin E. Mays said: ``You make your living by what you get, 
you make your life by what you give.'' Bob Hurt has accomplished so 
much in his life. He would be the first to admit that none of it would 
have been possible

without the love and support of his wife, Virginia, and their two 
daughters, Emma and Louisa.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me, my wife Vivian, and the 
more than 730,000 residents of Georgia's Second Congressional District 
in extending our sincerest congratulations to Mr. Robert H. ``Bob'' 
Hurt for receiving The Order of Saint Maurice and for his many years of 
service to our government, our military, and our nation.
