Sergeant David Enzbrenner, 46

    Lee, thank you for doing this every week. It’s so heartbreaking. I just wish more of the population appreciated the sacrifices police officers (and their families) make.

    Lee,

    I read this every week and I am still quite shocked on the number of U.S. Officers that are shot and killed every week. I have nothing but respect for the U.S. Officers that are facing such danger every time they go out on patrol.

    Sadly we lost one this week in a Road Traffic Accident.

    Paul
