When my daughter first

started high school. I was a little unnerved at the sight

of the deputies at the school, but before long I realized

how lucky we were to have them there to look out for all

there. They too have families and children and I'm sure

they have an inner worry for the safety of their kids

too. They are there to protect and serve, which I am very

thankful they are doing! I know this is their job but

they are putting their lives on the line each and every

day they put on their uniform.

With the meanness going on

in the world I'm surprised we have any law enforcement

officers or teachers left. All I can say is I am thankful

to all the teachers who still have a love for their job

and a desire to teach our children even with all this

madness going on.

And I'm thankful for all

the law enforcement officers out there watching over our

kids at school and doing their best to keep them safe.

And for you I pray that you

will have a little more consideration when proofreading

and checking what can and can't be printed in your paper.

Thank you for your time. Rest assured, I won't be wasting

anymore of my time reading your paper if I see anything

like that in it again.
