  Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the service of Mr. 
Robert E. Tiffany of Angola.
  On Saturday, January 29, Robert will celebrate his 100th birthday. On 
behalf of the United States Congress, I want to congratulate him on 
this wonderful occasion. We hope his heart is filled with joy knowing 
he has experienced our country's greatest blessings, including the 
affection of family and friends over a long, well-lived life.
  Our Nation owes Robert a debt of gratitude for his dedicated service 
to our country while serving in the United States Army Air during World 
War II. Like many of the Greatest Generation, he enlisted following the 
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In piloting B-17s over Europe, Robert 
took part in the Allied strategic bombing campaigns against the German 
war machine. By the time he left the Army in 1944, he flew a total of 
23 missions.
  Following his departure from service, he returned home, where he 
established a career, raised a family and lived out the American Dream. 
This record is a testament to his service and an appeal to future 
generations of Americans, that they too may answer the call to help 
keep lit the torch of American liberty, just as Robert did.
  May God Bless him, and may God Bless the United States of America.
