Robins AFB
role in war
commended
By ALAN WILLIS
Staff Writer
Major General Richard F. Gillis
announced to the Georgia House of
Representatives Monday that when
the Warner Robins Air Logistic
Center began 50 years ago, its
motto was "keep them flying"
"We're still keeping them flying
fifty years later," declared Gillis.
Both the Georgia House and
Senate adopted resolutions com
mending Gillis and the Warner
Robins Air Logistics Center
(WRLAC). Governor Zell Miller
also signed a proclamation recog
nizing Gillis and the Center. The
recognition came for two reasons.
This year is the 50th anniversary of
the WRLAC.
In addition to the anniversary,
"The Warner Robins Air Logistics
Center has been a key to the suc
cess of the U.S. campaign in the
Persian Gulf."
Gillis praised the "constant pro
fessionalism of the Middle Georgia
Work-force," saying the base's em
ployees are dedicated, patriotic and
proud of their work.
As the resolutions pointed out,
Robins Air Force Base is the
Volunteer couple
recognized
By ALAN WILLIS
Staff Writer
The Houston County Board of
Education commended Mr. and Mrs.
Horace Brandt for their "continued
support of and unselfish dedication"
to the students of Houston County.
The board passed a resolution
commending the Brandts, who vol
unteer their time to the schools.
The Brandts work primarily at
Shirley Hills Elementary Schools
and, most notably, headed up that
school's drive to earn computers
from local grocery stores. The
school earned seven computers.
Board Member Zell Blackmon
noted that the board needs to recog
nize volunteers and said "we ought
to do more of it.”
A copy of the resolution, signed
by the Superintendent and all
members of the Board, will be
transmitted to the Brandts.

THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1991
One of the main things working
against a reduction in force, Gillis
noted, is the war in the Middle East
The WRALC is not concerned
with profit like private industry
would be. "Combat readiness is our
bottom line," said Gillis. He
pointed out that the Air Force was
ready to go to war in the Middle
East because the WRLAC and other
depots like it did their jobs.
Gillis said the WRALC is "a key
player in one of the most devastat
ing air campaigns" in history. One
of Gillis' aims in going to Atlanta
was to "reinforce the importance of
Robins in the war fighting effort."
The base's role, he said, "has been
absolutely critical.
Gillis expressed an "immense
sense of pride" to be able to accept
the recognition on behalf of the
employees of the Warner Robins
Air Logistics Center.
