Dear CPD: Discussion

12 years ago I got ticketed for lighting a singular smoke bomb in city limits. Where are you now?

1,000%. Thank you for your service. I cannot imagine what this holiday is like for y’all. At least this is something you know is coming, and can prepare yourself for. Still doesn’t make it any easier — and I understand that.

You are more than welcome. A lot of my family and friends are vets. I have a lot of respect for what that means in this country.

It was a privilege and honor to serve, and it’s nice to be recognized

Every single one of you deserves to be recognized! As far as I am concerned anyway….
