                        HONORING ROBERT MEEK JR.

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. VIRGINIA FOXX

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 9, 2021

  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Robert Meek Jr. 
who has served as my District Director since 2016.
  To put it simply, Bob is a man of both conviction and courage. No 
matter the duty, he executes it with poise, a strong dedication to 
service, and with an abiding gratitude for those he works alongside.
  As a retired Colonel of the U.S. Army Reserve, as the son of a Second 
Lieutenant who served as a B-25 Mitchell bomber copilot in World War 
II, and father of 3 military sons, Bob has dedicated his life not only 
to being an advocate for military families, but also serving as a 
strong voice for servicemembers both past and present.
  From traveling thousands of miles across North Carolina's Fifth 
District with me to meeting with countless scores of proud North 
Carolinians who are proud to live there, Bob has always acted with a 
servant's heart, one of his many features that everyone admires.
  I speak for both myself and the staff when I say working alongside 
Bob has been an honor. As he enters this new phase of his life, may God 
continue to bless him, his family, and the lives of everyone he will 
continue to serve.
