Respect to LEOs from a retired Soldier. You all deserve more than a Rolex.

It's the "best job in the world that you love to hate." I've heard that around the roll call room before.

In my past profession from which I retired, LE provided assistance based on various situations. I can't tell you how many times I was so thankful to see them.

The job put me in harm's way almost daily. Mostly caused by individuals completely disrespectful with untamed grandiose behaviors and self-granted privileges not acceptable in society. I was never so glad to hand in my keys and tags...

I appreciate and applaud anyone out there on the beat who make sacrifices every day for the good of society - past, present, future.
That includes all the faces in law enforcement, firemen, military, health care workers - the list goes on.
THANK YOU!

I would like to take a moment to thank all those especially the veterans who have shown their support for all law enforcement officers all over the world. It's a job that most people shy away from because of the danger associated with it. Any day that you go to work could be that last day that you go home to your family. I know that my wife would hug me every night as I left for work & prayed that I would return home. I had a great career and I loved being a NYC Police Officer. So to all that support law enforcement I say thank you & to those who think that cops use excessive force too often I say please don't judge until you have walked in our shoes. Watching police shows on TV is not the real portrayal of real life on the streets. Again thanks for all the support.

Sadly we all know we see the worst of society.


Either way, let's never forget that everyone gives some and some gave all!

Yes, indeed. I've been to way too many law enforcement funerals and have seen too many grieving families.

The sacrifice made by the fallen and their families is staggering and humbling.

Thank you neither can I. My just bought a few NATO straps for my date just and really think I'm just going to get rid of the DJ. I don't think I can top this watch unless I someone can afford a Platinum YachMaster or actual BLNR. And that still wouldn't be "topping it."

Sold my Date Just (still have the brand new custom explorer ii) to fund this project. I traveled to Chicago for 1 of two sittings to get my K9 partner tattooed on me:

Will be getting finished next month. Here is another k9 handlers tattoo from the same artist (this one is finished though)
