Most Recent Reflection
View all 11 ReflectionsThis was my great grandfather. 90 years after his death, myself and other members of my family met and had breakfast with the great grandson of my great grandfathers murderer. The killers great grandson was a police officer who after researching his family tree, discovered, to his disbelief, what his great grandfather had done. It was a time of reflection for both families, and a time to reflect on the sacrifices peace officers make each day.
