Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and legacy of Alfred Hill, Jr., a Wyomingite who courageously defended our country and whose life was marked by a track record of accomplishments and deeply rooted compassion for others.

Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Alfred made the selfless decision to serve his country as a member of the U.S. Sixth Army from 1963-1966, completing a tour of duty in Korea and earning a promotion to the rank of specialist.

Following his time in the Army, he earned a degree in business administration and accounting from the Universities of Texas and Montana.

Alfred and his wife, Barbara, moved to Sheridan, Wyoming, in 2010 where he dedicated his time to supporting others and bettering the community.

Alfred was an active member of the Rotary Club, served as a Scoutmaster, volunteered to deliver Meals on Wheels, and arranged hunting trips for disabled veterans through the Hunting with Heroes Program.

Alfred valued his Christian faith and family above all else and cherished every minute he could spend with his grandchildren and great- grandchildren.

Alfred passed away peacefully on the morning of October 20, leaving behind a legacy of selfless service in his community that will be forever cherished by his friends and family.

I urge all my colleagues to join me in remembering the life of Alfred Hill, Jr.
