                       Tuesday, February 25, 2020

  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service and 
commitment of Norm Hurst, who received the Presidents' Choice Award 
from the Victor Valley College Foundation on February 22, 2020.
  After serving in the United States Air Force, Norm Hurst went on to 
become a Deputy Sheriff for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's 
Department. Within the span of his 32-year career in law enforcement, 
Norm would ultimately be promoted to Deputy Chief. Long before he was a 
Deputy Chief, Norm's association with Victor Valley College began when 
he received his Associate of Science degree in the Spring of 1974. Not 
long after receiving his Bachelor's in Criminal Justice, Norm was 
encouraged to begin teaching within Victor Valley College's Criminal 
Justice Department. His service to the College continued in 2011 when 
he joined the Victor Valley College Foundation Board of Directors. 
Today, Norm continues to be an advocate for student success, and works 
tirelessly to fundraise for the Foundation's scholarships and grants to 
VVC's departments.
  Norm Hurst has dedicated decades of his life to serving the public. 
Throughout his career in the military, law enforcement, and education, 
he has embodied one of the Air Force's core values--Service Before 
Self. Congratulations, Norm.
