                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 20, 2021

  Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Eddie 
Hill's 100th birthday. Mr. Hill is a loving father, grandfather, great-
grandfather and great-great-grandfather. Mr. Hill proudly served his 
country in World War II as part of the 1695th Engineer Combat Battalion 
in an all-black combat unit. After serving in dangerous combat duty 
across Europe, Mr. Hill returned home, went to technical school, and 
went on to become an auto repair specialist. He even owned his own 
business, a true testament to his contributions to his community.
  For his contributions, his community loved him back. For his pre-
birthday celebrations, his neighbors, friends, and family came together 
to honor Mr. Hill in a large drive-by parade. It is clear to everyone 
that knows Mr. Hill, that he has made the most of each of his one-
hundred years. I wish him many more pursuing his passions of following 
baseball and gardening.
  On behalf of my community and our neighbors across Burlington and 
Ocean Counties, I wish him a happy birthday and thank him for his 
service to our Nation.
