These are the stories of the American Police Veterans.
America made a promise to take care of those that have protected America. That promise wasn't broken. It was empty words. Some of those words were turned into laws, where they were ignored. America Thinks that retired and disabled law enforcement officers are living large at the expense of the taxpayer. Read their stories. Then decide for yourself. Who is paying the ultimate price for safe American communities.
Wishing all of the Policevets a safe and happy Forth of July Holiday.
Thank you for your contributions to the United States of America. The police are the foundation of a free and just society. Lady Justice may or may not be blind, but America's policevet's served with open eyes. The cop on the street has dispensed more justice than all any court. Many policevets have passed without a thank you from the country that they loved. That is a sad reality.
Your country was strengthened by your effort and sacrifice. It is unfortunate that many of you will never have your casket draped in the American flag. I hope that one day America will appreciate that a police veteran is a man or women that has served their country through a career of sacrifice and commitment, rather than a cop with 3 or more years on the job.
