Whereas, through his enthusiastic leadership and volunteer hours in the "Putting the U in Sumter" campaign, he planted trees and restored buildings across Sumter along with eight other people he recruited for the event; and

Whereas, using his carpentry skills, he joined Habitat for Humanity to build affordable housing for low income residents, and with another group of volunteers, he spearheaded a collection program for Cans for Humanity by placing deposit boxes throughout the community and retrieving donations to support local construction projects; and

Whereas, Technical Sergeant Reed also takes time from his demanding military career to coach the fundamentals of soccer and to emphasize the importance of overall fitness to youth enrolled in the Sumter Parks and Recreation Department soccer program and in the Sumter Classic Soccer Club; and

Whereas, as an active member of the Thomas Sumter Parent Teacher Organization, he donated and installed speakers for the school's prekindergarten classroom computers; and

Whereas, aware of the broad health needs of the community, he raised one thousand five hundred dollars by participating in the Sumter County Health Heart Walk for the American Heart Association and raised awareness and four thousand dollars for the American Cancer Society when he served as team captain for the local Relay for Life; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives express their profound gratitude for the hours of volunteer work that Technical Sergeant Reed has given to the citizens of Sumter, which have earned him the accolade of 2007 Military Citizen of the Year in Sumter. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
