Most Recent Reflection
View all 604 ReflectionsI learned of Officer Buro’s sacrifice in a class taught by his partner while I was in the academy. I thank Officer Buro for his service, and I know that his service nor his sacrifice will ever be forgotten. I pray for the family left behind that will struggle with his absence every day.
