Supporting our Troops

Recently the Lakeville Police Department coordinated a drive to collect unused ballistic vests from local law enforcement agencies to get them shipped to troops overseas for our Troops. We were happy to contribute. The drive was a success and with the cooperation of a number of resources, the vests successfully made it to the Middle East.

I was engaged in a conversation about this topic Monday evening and it brought to mind the sacrifice made by our soldiers and their families. They are truly heroes. Regardless of your politics or views, the tireless dedication of the members of our armed forces is something we should never take for granted. When I returned home Monday evening, I found an email from my sister who lives in South Texas. It speaks in a way I cannot. I’ve provided a link here. Please be patient as it will take a short time to load.

Again, I’ll remind you that the views expressed here are my own and not that of the City of Northfield. I finance this weblog with my own resources and on my own time.

Godspeed to all our military personnel in harm’s way.
