He would have found out about it being stolen when he was back in his patrol car and did a check on the driver's license and car plates, but he did not want to assume.
The firefighter that fell through the roof of your neighbor's house, because he was up there to get the tree limbs out of the way because another house was having smoke come out of it's attic and the only clear way into it was from three houses over because the owner kept saying "it is not my house and it is not your concern".
The Coast Guard seaman, who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, because...
To the members of our allies' military, who stepped in when our Congress said: "We have spent to much".
To the wives, husbands, daughters, sons, brothers, and sisters, of everyone who has said: "I am here to protect you", with their last breath.
Thank you.
