              CELEBRATING BOB GIBSON ON HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THOMAS H. KEAN, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 14, 2023

  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the milestone 
birthday of Bob ``Gibby'' Gibson who celebrated his 100th birthday on 
September 4, 2023.
  Gibby has dedicated his life to public service. Born in Hampton, New 
Jersey in 1923, he went on to serve in the United States Army during 
World War II. Following his service in major campaigns such as the D-
Day Invasion and the Battle of the Bugle, Gibby was honorably 
discharged in 1945, and returned to his hometown of Hampton.
  Once home, he further proved his dedication to his community by 
joining the Hampton Fire Company, of which he climbed the ranks, 
becoming Chief in 1957. Continuing to demonstrate his remarkable 
commitment to public service, Gibby was elected Mayor of Hampton in 
1966 and held office until 1971. Gibby has continued his dedication to 
public service throughout his life, currently serving as the Vice 
President of the Hampton Relief Association.
  On behalf of New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, I ask that we 
honor the celebration of Bob ``Gibby'' Gibson's 100th birthday.
