A salute to all of you officers far and wide from Captain Cook Hawaii, and a few tears in my blue eyes at the moment. In my past, I have learned about law enforcement as the 'Captain' of an Explorer Post associated with the dept. and did ride alongs. Even was in 'jail' for a couple of minutes and was cuffed. But not for breaking any law... just practice. this said,to put a little joy in the troubled hearts of those suffering today from these awful circumstances. Peace to those who seek it. There is both joy and sorrow for those who serve and those who love them. I will place my prayer on the graves.
