No traffic stop is ever routine, at all times we must be aware of surroundings and the people we meet during our service. Unfortunately there are those that only exist to do us harm, either through their own fears or just anger. Our prayers are with you, Trooper Blanton and we will keep watch over your young family. This is what our brotherhood does. They will never be alone, never in need and always a part of our lives.

Godspeed, my brother.
