“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. ____________________”
