Ripper,

Thank you very much. That was great. Where did you find it?

Maverick,

Not sure where I first came across these but I keep them nearby always.

22 years service with my department now, I know how hard the feeling of loss is when a brother falls.

cc Ripper,

Maybe it's the alcohol in me, but that passage you posted really hit home right now.  

I keep a txt file of quotes... that's going in there.
