I'm just a citizen new to the community at large where Sgt. Glenn Hobart Haas served and died. His faithfulness to his community is something reverent, his sacrifice a sacred gift to his home community. As years have passed society in America has changed. The forces that have no respect for our nation's precious place among global governments have swept as an undercurrent through American institutions, raising confusion. Our police departments have been punished without due respect for the risks they face when they set out to work each day. On today's streets a war zone is a reality among high intensity weaponry and drug-altered criminal minds who are as organized as guerrilla units. The hair split of reaction time for making decisions is in the palm of God as well as in the judgment of officers. Americans who are true to civilization's great gift called the United States of America love our police officers deeply and humbly thank each and every one for their hearts of courage and pure gold. Let angels ever guide you. Proud to be under your protection.
