  THANKING LC ``BUCKSHOT'' SMITH FOR HIS 56 YEARS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT 
                                SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, December 6, 2019

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and extend my 
gratitude to Mr. LC ``Buckshot'' Smith of Camden, Arkansas.
   Officer Smith has spent a lifetime in law enforcement. His career 
spans over five decades in the Fourth District of Arkansas. Having 
spent 46 of those years with the Ouachita County Sheriff's Department, 
he officially retired in September 2010. However, after only a few 
short months in retirement, he decided to return to the Camden Police 
Department. At the age of 90 years old, he is still serving the 
community after 56 years of service.
   President George H.W. Bush said, ``Public service is a noble 
calling.'' Officer Smith has answered this call to service everyday as 
a police officer, church deacon, and community member for decades. The 
Ouachita County and Camden communities can attest to the exemplary 
character and dedication to service found in Officer Smith.
   I'm proud to know of the lifelong commitment to service men like 
Officer ``Buckshot Smith'' have. His life serves as a powerful reminder 
of what an impact a lifetime of service can have on our communities. I 
take this time to thank him for the decades he has given to the Fourth 
District of Arkansas and for the example he has provided for 
generations of Americans to come.
