Most Recent Reflection

I rode my bicycle last year with Law Enforcement United. I was given a black metal bracelet which is inscribed with Special Officers William W. Gemmell's name and end of watch. If there are any family members who would like to have it I would be glad to send it. I wore the bracelet on the 250+ mile bike ride to Washington for the candlelight vigil at the Law Enforcement Memorial.
