We owe these gallant men and women of law enforcement our unswerving support as they go out every day or night never knowing if it might be their last; as they protect you and I and our families from those who would otherwise create anarchy.God bless those who paid the ultimate price on our behalf and watch over their families.
Rest in Peace.
