We are in this race for just such a time as this. The assault on law enforcement is unprecedented. But, with the right leaders in place, we will emerge stronger and safer than ever before. May God keep us through this perilous assault on our Nation.

"Los Angeles, California - September 22, 2020 - In what her office called a "press release," Representative Norma Torres goes to great lengths to explain that she is all things to all people. To the activists critical of law enforcement, she refers to "unchecked police aggression." To law enforcement, she says she knows how important public safety professionals are for emergency response because of her experience as a dispatcher. But she saves her harsh criticism for only one side, the police.
In her most telling passage, Rep. Torres refers to the unprovoked and horrific shooting attack on two deputies last week by indicating, “This attack did not take place in a vacuum though – the moment of reckoning law enforcement is in right now is long-overdue and well-justified." By that horrible logic, anyone who wears a police uniform should expect and should deserve to be shot.
Rep. Torres attempts to say that she understands law enforcement officers, citing herself as "someone who dispatched LAPD officers for nearly 18 years..."
That experience alone should have been sufficient for her to understand that her statement is widely perceived among sworn personnel as saying that officers who are ambushed in shootings should not be surprised and that peace officers deserve that kind of violence to be aimed at police personnel.
Rep. Torres' press release includes a list of disclaimers indicating she is against violence against police personnel. All of those disclaimers, and any claims of career experience she may use in an attempt to make herself sympathetic to deputy sheriffs, are eliminated by her offensive posture that blames peace officers first.
Rep. Torres says the "Eyes of History are Now Upon Us..." but she fails entirely to chart a path ahead that would help resolve these challenging issues. Someone as experienced in public safety issues as she is would certainly propose police training, community education, anything that would focus productively on the difficult days ahead.
On behalf of more than 8,000 deputy sheriffs and district attorneys working in Los Angeles County, we urge Rep. Torres to think twice before "condemning" violence against police as an excuse to over-generalize her criticism of sworn personnel. "

When you see a sentiment that mirrors your own, rather than trying to restate or "make it your own", I prefer to simply quote the author and nod in agreement with a silent "amen".

On this day we honor the brave men & women who had served or continue to serve our nation. They do so often in harms way away from their families so we can be with ours & remain safe in the land of the free because of the brave, because freedom is not free. In fulfilling their solemn oaths & acts of service from those serving stateside in peace to those serving overseas, they answer a calling for a cause greater than themselves while ensuring the continuation of the ideals, character, culture, and heritage of our great nation.
Let us reflect on their service to our nation.
All gave some but some gave all.
We all owe them many thanks whether on the battlefields or in the board rooms of corporate America, our veterans continue to honor us with their great character, skills, and leadership as they are what makes America great.
When you see them thank them for their service not just on Veterans Day, but everyday throughout the year.
Be sure to also hire them whenever possible and reap the immeasurable rewards because the value they bring to any organization from their versatile knowledge, skills, and leadership is priceless .
God Bless our veterans and God Bless America!

Happy Birthday to the United States Marines!
With its beginnings in 1775 during the American Revolution, the USMC, to this day, continues to improvise, adapt and overcome. Today, there are more than 200,000 active-duty and reserve Marines. Here's to 245 years of success! Hoorah! #Marines #marinecorps
