                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 5, 2004

  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, on October 9, 2004, the Los Angeles Police 
Reserve Foundation will recognize Bobby Sherman for his commitment and 
dedication to the Los Angeles County Reserve Foundation. He will be 
presented with the coveted ``Twice A Citizen'' Award for his 
extraordinary volunteer work.
  Reserve officers are volunteers who supplement the deployment of 
full-time officers by performing a wide range of duties, including 
working as uniformed patrol officers, desk officers, detectives, 
chaplains and community-relations officers. During 2003, reserve 
officers donated 200,000 hours of service, the equivalent to more than 
5 million dollars in officer salaries. The LAPD Reserve Officers live 
up to their motto; ``To Be A Reserve Is To Be Twice A Citizen.''
  Bobby Sherman is one of the most successful and diversified figures 
in the entertainment industry. The first performer to star in three 
television serials before the age of 30, he has gone on to earn a fine 
reputation not only as an actor and singer, but as a producer, director 
and composer as well.
  His career success allows him to devote much of his time and energy 
to charitable and community activities. He is a certified EMT 
Instructor, a technical reserve officer with the Los Angeles Police 
Department and a Reserve Deputy Sheriff with the San Bernardino County 
Sheriff's Department. He has been named LAPD's Reserve Officer of the 
Year for 1999, received the FBI's Exceptional Service Award and is the 
Vice Commander of the Court Services Reserve Unit for the San 
Bernardino County Sheriff. For fifteen years, he has served as a 
medical training officer at the Los Angels Police Academy, instructing 
thousands of police officers in first aid and CPR. Through The Bobby 
Sherman Volunteer EMT Foundation, he provides free first aid and 
emergency medical services at dozens of charitable and community events 
each year.

  Bobby began his career on ABC's, Shindig, the first prime time rock 
and roll showcase. He starred for two seasons as Jeremy Bolt in ABC's 
Here Comes the Brides and then his own series Getting Together. He was 
a frequent guest star on the series Murder, She Wrote and Frazier and 
appeared in the motion pictures Wild In Streets, He is My Brother and 
Get Crazy. His records includes Hey Little Woman, Easy Come Easy Go, 
Julie Do Ya Love Me? and Cried Like a Baby, which along with others 
sold more than 10 million records and won seven gold singles and five 
gold albums. His Christmas album remains a perennial favorite and 
personal appearances sold out the Houston Astrodome and The Los Angeles 
Forum.
  Bobby's autobiography Bobby Sherman:--Remembering You has been on 
several bestseller lists. He built and maintains a 24-track digital 
recording studio where he composed, arranged and performed the musical 
scores for many television programs and videos. He lives in San 
Fernando Valley and is the father of two sons, Christopher and Tyler.
  Bobby is a stellar example of the statement ``to protect and serve.'' 
We can only say a simple and heartfelt thank you to Bobby Sherman and 
to all the men and women who courageously protect and serve the 
citizens of America.
