View all 17 Reflections40 years ago today we lost a great man that I was lucky enough to call Dad. So hard to believe it has been this long as I think about him every day still. I thank God every day that there are still men and women that put their lives on the line for people that they don’t even know. It truly takes a special person to be an officer of the law.
