View all 69 ReflectionsHey Rookie! Today I stopped by here to just reflect on my friends lost to the job. I'm in NY now, ( Don't ask) and am working on a new project that involves local Peer Support, C.O.P.S. and our Veterans Chaplin support group. Been retired now 12 years but you're on my mind often. Training you was such a pleasure and I embark on this new venture in honor of you and my other friends who died.
God Bless Brother.
