  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation.
  Whereas, one hundred years ago a virtuous woman of God, Nettie J. 
Ford was born in Midway, Alabama on August 4, 1915 to Mr. Hanson and 
Mrs. Lottie Ford; and
  Whereas, she was raised up in Midway, Alabama and married Rev. Aaron 
Robbins in 1932 and their union has blessed our district and nation 
with fourteen children and a host of grand, great and great-great 
grandchildren; and
  Whereas, this phenomenal Proverbs 31 woman has shared her time and 
talents as a wife, mother and friend, becoming a Georgia citizen of 
great worth, a fearless leader and a servant to all by always advancing 
the lives of others; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Robbins has been blessed with a long, happy life, 
devoted to God and credits it all to the Will of God; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Robbins is celebrating a remarkable milestone, her 
100th Birthday; her family and friends are pausing to acknowledge a 
woman who has been revered by many and a pillar of her community; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and extend well wishes to Mrs. Robbins 
on her birthday and recognize her for an exemplary life that has been 
an inspiration to all; now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, 
Jr., do hereby proclaim August 4, 2015 as Mrs. Nettie J. Robbins Day in 
the 4th Congressional District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 4th day of August, 2015.
