Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E909] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] REMEMBERING ROBERT L. ``ROBBIE'' HANSON ______ HON. ANDY HARRIS of maryland in the house of representatives Monday, September 14, 2026 Mr. HARRIS of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and service of Robert L. ``Robbie'' Hanson, who passed away on September 6, 2026. Robbie Hanson was a member of the Cambridge, Maryland community for many decades and embodied public service throughout his career. Upon graduating with the North Dorchester Class of 1971, he enlisted in the United States Air Force Security Forces where he served in South-East Asia during the Vietnam War. Robbie continued his Air Force career serving in the Air Force Reserves at Dover Air Force Base in the 512th Weapons Systems Security Forces. Robbie transitioned into a distinguished career with Maryland Parole and Probation, spanning 34 years. He also served as The City Commissioner for the Fifth Ward in Cambridge, Chair of the Dorchester County Planning and Zoning Commission, and served on multiple terms in the Maryland Veterans Commission. Robbie was co-founder of the Dorchester County Public Safety and Treatment Network and a member of the Dorchester County Local Management Board for Child and Family Services. A proud veteran, Robbie was a member of the American Legion Post 91, a life member of the VFW Post 7460 and a life member of the Vietnam Veterans Chapter 0648. His dedication to serving others has left a legacy in Cambridge. Robbie was a true patriot, and Maryland's First Congressional District undoubtedly owes him a great debt of gratitude. I thank Robbie for his contributions and selfless service. May the memories of Robbie bring comfort and peace to his family, loved ones and others. ____________________
