I have spent the last week watching police videos and reading entries on the Officer Down Memorial Webpage. I can't tell you why I have been so preoccupied this week. My sergeant and I talked about it last night. I came in from watching my kids play basketball and turned on the computer and found your entry. I pray for you wife and kids. I can't imagine the pain they are feeling.

Keep watch over us tonight brother.
