I saw this on Facebook and it struck at my heart.
“If you are a Law Enforcement Officer and need a break, you can come park outside our house. If you are thirsty, we will bring you a drink. If you are hungry, we will fix you something to eat and serve you a good strong cup of coffee. If you are hot, we will invite you inside to cool off. If you need to talk, we will listen. If you need to pray, we will kneel with you. We only ask that you don’t lose faith in Americans. We are NOT all against you. Look around and see the good people that are here for you. We are not as loud and obnoxious as these media seekers, but we are just as strong. Some of you are husbands, sons, nephews, friends, and we personally know how good your heart is. God bless you and your family. Thank You all for all you do to keep us and our families safe! May God protect you as you risk your lives to serve and protect us. We stand in support of our good men and women in blue.”
Over the years, I have interacted with and gotten to know many law enforcement folks, both locally and throughout the Southeast. The job that they do is not an easy one. It can be very stressful for them and for those that love them. Many of them do their jobs because they want to help their fellow citizens.
I appreciate what they do and I wish to tell them all a heartfelt “Thank you!”
