Midnight on 2/10/16:"Maryland Mourns"

Finally getting off the computer and away from the photos and images and comments of today's tragedy in Harford County, Maryland. What sadness in the faces of the officers, pictured in the photo from the Maryland State Police; what hope we all held for hours that our deputies would be ok.

There was a spark of good I saw, in the response of so many people to a simple acknowledgement by Governor Hogan. Ironically, that may have been due in part to the fact that we often look to our leaders for words at a time like this.....and far too often there is only silence. But today, as he spoke out to offer comfort and strength to those grieving, perhaps others will see the example being set and cease their silence.

"We will not be silent, however - we stand with our law enforcement officers. God bless all who serve and protect! May the thoughts and prayers of so many reach out to comfort the families of the deputies we lost today. RIP, our heroes."

About Delmarva Supports Law Enforcement

Saturday, September 19th was "Thank A Police Officer Day", observed across the country as a time to stop and thank all who serve in law enforcement. Here in the Delmarva area, we had a local event which included cards and visits to many of our nearby departments. 

 There were lots of good vibes, meeting and greeting, and new connections were made, but the most important goal was to tell them that they are appreciated. https://www.facebook.com/events/814401878673142/

At one point on facebook, posts about "Thank a Police Officer Day" numbered more than 16,000, up from just 1,000 mentions on Thursday. But it can't end here. We need to continue to acknowledge and support the men and women who serve and protect our communities. We invite you to join this effort.
