Quote of the Day
January 9 isNational Law
Enforcement Appreciation Day!
Let's face it, there is so much evil in the world today! Our Law Enforcement and Military are there to do their best to keep us safe. It is sad to me to see the disrespect that many give to our Law Enforcement Men and Women these days. We would have utter chaos in the world without them! Are they perfect? No one is! Do they sometimes make mistakes? Yes, everyone does! They go into every shift, knowing they might not make it home at the end of
the day. They deserve our respect and appreciation! Thank an officer today for their service!
