November 11th is Veterans’ Day. Join the men and women of the San Francisco Police Officers Association in honoring America’s military veterans, and those brave and dedicated men and women currently serving at home and abroad.
Sacrifice is a common characteristic of those who have and are serving in the US military. But, police officers currently serving in the military reserves are particularly selfless and dedicated. Not only does each suffer the travails of military call-up, but upon his or her return, the normal disruptions inherent to police work consumes their lives – and that of their families.
We also have members who have loved ones serving in the military. Let us not forget these heroes. If you have a coworker in your unit or station who has a close relative in the military, take a moment to thank that friend for the service and sacrifice of their uniformed loved one.
Read the Veterans’ Day tribute from the November 2009 American Legion Police/Fire Post column by Greg Corrales. It underscores why November 11 means so much to our veterans and to our country. – Ed.
