                    IN RECOGNITION OF ROBERT HILLER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. VICKY HARTZLER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 16, 2021

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the service 
of Robert Hiller, also known as ``Racecar Bob'', on his efforts to 
raise money for the Sedalia, Missouri Drug Abuse Resistance Education 
(D.A.R.E.) program.
  Bob has been serving his community and the region for over three 
decades, working with law enforcement agencies across seven different 
states. He has done this with the help of his iconic racecar--he offers 
rides and appears in the program's annual car show in order to raise 
money as well as spread awareness. Next year will be Bob's 31st 
appearance in the car show--the same number as his racecar.
  The Sedalia D.A.R.E. Officers, through Bob's efforts, have been able 
to serve around 20,000 students without having to rely on public tax 
money, and they will be able to do so for another seven years without 
needing future funding. Additionally, the program has been able to 
establish two $500 scholarships for local high school students.
  Bob has had an incredible impact in educating young people about the 
dangers of substance abuse and making sure they stay safe and healthy. 
We are incredibly grateful for his service.
