View all 16 ReflectionsI am a medically retired Deputy out of San Diego. I was hit by a drunk driver in 2019. Now I am walking from San Diego, CA to Lubec, ME raising money for injured Law Enforcement Officers and for abused kids.
Seeing your memorial and the very end of my walk today moved me. You and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
