Sorry to hear I have to add to the list. As soon as Turner shows up on the docket, I'll add her to the original list.

Thanks Debey.

Just read that. Made my heart sink. Soldiers, law officers and like seem to all fit into a brotherhood that makes one proud of what they do. Remember their fallen brother(s) and form a lifelong bond.

That is outstanding. Memorials and ceremonies are without fail emotional. But healthy for telling the story and remembering.
