:patriot: We had a service here last week. I went for several of my friends who are with OPD, and for my brother who was with OPD, but now lives and works near Austin for a PD there. He's actually just become an FTO, and our family is very proud of him. We lost 3 officers last September, 8th. It was a touching service. DPS had a helicopter fly by, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Our LEO's need all the support we can give them. God bless, and you guys be careful out there. :patriot:
