HONORING EDDIE HILL'S 100TH BIRTHDAY
______
HON. ANDY KIM
of new jersey
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.
