                HONORING THE LIFE OF OFFICER BOBBY REED

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today, we honor the life and memory of 
Officer Bobby Reed.
  He was born November 23, 1951, and Bobby Reed's life was about 
service to his community and to his country.
  As a marine, he was deployed overseas to Vietnam, where he served 
honorably and attained the rank of staff sergeant.
  When he returned home to Santa Ana, California, my hometown, he 
decided to join the local police department to continue protecting and 
serving his community.
  During his 28 years of service on the Santa Ana police force, Officer 
Reed was honored many times over by his colleagues and his community 
for his exemplary service and character. Multiple civic organizations, 
such as Kiwanis and MADD, recognized him with many awards.
  He was also elected as a board member of the Santa Ana Police 
Officers Association, showing, again, his leadership and his positive 
influence on others.
  As we celebrate Bobby's life, may his example continue to shine for 
the next generation.
