To Protect and Serve

I visit this site frequently.  It became obvious to me very quickly that we are losing far too many of our men and women and felt I needed to say something about it.

Honoring Officers Killed in the Year 2007

If we keep going at the rate we've been for these past seven months, then by the end of this current year, 200 police officers will have been killed in the line of duty all across the united states.  200 men and women will have died protecting YOU and YOUR families safety.  Please take a moment to think of these men and women throughout your day.  Somewhere there's a home that daddy isn't coming back to, how do you explain that to 3 year old twins.  Or to the 3 year old little girl who no longer has her daddy.  They will never remember what it sounded like when their parents said their names, how they laughed or what joy they brought into their lives.  Remember those fallen officers for THEM.  For those children who have lost more than any should.  Rememeber.

You have opened my eyes.  Sadly I never really gave this any thought before.   I will now.
