Most Recent Reflection
View all 2 ReflectionsAuxiliary Officer Hall, as a former Auxiliary myself, I know that the work sometimes flies under the radar of public consciousness and the hours on the front line for little or no pay is done out of a desire to help your community and be a part of something. I commend your selflessness and thank you for your service. You have not been forgotten and we honor you here.
God Bless and may your rest be ever peaceful, Brother.
