Most Recent Reflection
View all 26 ReflectionsWhenever I see a cross on a roadside, I offer a prayer for the deceased and his or her loved ones. A few years ago, as I was driving between our homes in IN and PA, I saw the cross with the hat affixed to it. Since that time, on my frequent trips up and back, I look for this cross and wonder who that person was. On my latest trip, I saw the sign dedicated to Master Trooper David Deuter. I offer my gratitude for his service and sacrifice. As well, I offer my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues and now have a name to remember in prayer. Rest in peace Trooper Deuter. You are not forgotten.
