#78 - I’m a great guy that truly cares. Our department pays pretty well. I’m no millionaire, but (as you’ll never understand) it’s not all about the money.
I do what I do because I feel like I’m making a difference in the world. I speak for victims that cannot speak.... a child that has been abused, a woman that has been beaten, and even dogs that have been raised for fighting.
I do what I do because I want my children growing up in a safer world. I get guns out of the hands of registered felons. I put repeat sex offenders back in jail. I get drugs off the street.
You see, there are a great many of us in this world that give OF ourselves first, instead of selfishly giving TO ourselves when others are in need.
You may have bigger muscles than me, but you will never have a bigger heart than me. The strength I possess is built from within.... an internal drive to seek justice and protect the innocent, to remain controlled when chaos is abundant, and to stand brave in the face of adversity.
Anyone can push metal plates up and down, so you are not unique, friend. At the end of the day, I like to feel like I accomplished slightly more than defeating gravity for a few minutes.
Thank you for reminding me why I am who I am.
