Every 28 hours there is a police officer shot in this country, so far this year. Violence against the brave men/women of law enforcement in this country needs to end! We ask all leaders in our communities, condemn violence towards law enforcement in all its forms. #EnoughIsEnough
In April I had the privilege to join Honor Flight Maine and my Pepere (center w/ cane at WWII Memorial) on visit to DC. It was an experience I'll treasure forever. Thank you each and every Veteran for your sacrifice, service, and dedication.
