Half way thru my career I was in NCPD headquarters and happened to look up at the officers honored for their sacrifice on the wall. I thought I was seeing things as my badge number was on the wall above me. Obviously it shouldnt have been reissued! I decided to keep wearing it to honor our fallen hero! Being retired now I keep it in my pocket everyday with a mourning band around it in his honor. Thanks for your service Officer Trufemuk!
