View all 77 ReflectionsWhile visiting with my daughter this evening, the topic of the stories from my days as an LEO came up. Most were good hearted and funny but today I was able to share with her the legacy of Vance Clements. I do not work as an LEO anymore but remember fondly the stories and friendships made. No, it’s not your E.O.W. date, but wanted to say thank you sir. Not only for your service but for your friendship as well.
May you rest easy in the arms of GOD now.
