ReplyDeleteGod Bless our law enforcement officers everywhere! Our friends daughter was a police officer and was shot and killed in the line of duty in 2005. It was such a tragedy and she was the first officer to be killed in Columbia, MO. Her parents had just had dinner with her that evening not long before she was shot.
