Grateful for police

2/16/2015

My 'letter to the editor' below appeared in The Arizona Republic Dec. 27, 2014. 

Let's really show the police how grateful we are for them
   In July 1985, I was shot in the back while in my backyard. Because of it, I ultimately had to have my hands and feet amputated. 
   I am living a wonderful life because police officers stood over me knowing that the sniper might shoot again while the paramedics cared for me. 
   I would like to challenge everyone who is thankful for the sacrifices our finest make to set aside Jan. 5, 2015 to thank our police for what they do. 
   From 7 to 7:30 a.m. and again from 5:30 to 6 p.m. make signs that say only "Thank You" and stand across the street from your nearest police precinct and let them know that we appreciate the risks they take.

    I am a quadruple amputee with a sense of humor and a passion for life. I like to tell stories.
