“I rise today on behalf of Georgia's Fifth Congressional District to honor Mr. Robert ``Bob'' Willis on a very special 99th birthday. Mr. Willis has lived a life of service, and I am proud to help him celebrate his 99 years of life and more than 75 years of uninterrupted service to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1926, Mr. Willis served in the Navy during World War II and was initiated into the Beta Mu Chapter at Kentucky State University in 1949. From there, Mr. Willis would go on to serve in many leadership roles in the fraternity, including district director of Georgia and southern regional vice president. Mr. Willis' unceasing fraternal dedication has earned him the Alpha Award of Merit from General President Darryl Matthews, the highest award that Alpha Phi Alpha can bestow on a member. Mr. Willis is an exemplification of Men of Distinction, his brotherhood's moniker. I congratulate him on his 99th birthday and for his life of service to his community. I hope that he is enjoying this day in Atlanta.”
