Today, I am thankful. I am thankful that I survived over thirty years as a Hillsborough County Deputy Sheriff. I enjoyed serving and protecting the citizens of Hillsborough County. I am thankful for those who served before me, as well as, those that continue(d) to serve after my retirement. You are all in my thoughts and prayers today as your commitment to your chosen profession is appreciated by many, even though not everyone expresses such.

Today, I plea. I plea that your comments on this thread are positive in nature. I am encouraging you to comment on the past, present or future. Just your happy thoughts. There are plenty of other negative threads available if you must.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, those that are home alone or with their families and those that are working. Please be safe. Today is a vulnerable day for many.

May God Bless The Peacemakers
