LAW ENFORCEMENT APPRECIATION DAY

Everybody needs a pat on the back once in a while. A written or verbal thank-you, a phone call, a Starbucks card, or a "well done" go a long way when someone labors under a heavy burden. Friday, January 9, 2015 recognizes law enforcement officers in America. Lately, the law enforcement community labors not only under the usual strain of violence and criminal behavior but angry criticism from both mainstream media and certain segments of society. How quickly we forget that if it weren't for law enforcement the chaos in America would be unbearable. So today--and in the weeks to come--take a few moments to recall specific incidents of police protection or help, and then contact a local "cop" and let him/her know how much you appreciate what they do every day. I know I thank an officer every time I see one. So, if you are reading this and you are a law enforcement officer THANK YOU for your service and putting your life on the line for me every day. May God Bless each and everyone of you.
