This morning, We attended a graduation ceremony from the Detroit Police Academy. One of the graduates was one of my players when I was a high school football coach in Detroit. Although he had a difficult childhood, he always had a smile on his face and was one of our best players.
Now at age 24, he has decided to serve the people of Detroit as a police officer. It grieves me terribly to think of the things he’ll see and the difficult situations he’ll have to face.
Generation after generation, young people like him step forward into harms way in order to serve the common good. I hope you sleep well tonight knowing there are people like him out there standing guard all through the night!
I say, “Thanks for your service!”
If not today, when?
