Today was a day blanketed in sadness for many people in the Central Valley. Last week a tragic and selfish act took the lives of two men who served our police force. I did not know these men, nor did I know their families. But today as I watched a funeral courageously shared through the local television, my heart felt of sadness and loss. I was reminded that the men and women in uniform are more than protectors of our community; they are parents and friends - to many.
Many businesses showed respect as the flag flown at half staff in mourning for this loss. This photo was taken from the Cal Fire station in Sanger. It was only a few minutes drive from the location of last weeks life changing events.
To those who serve....Thank You.

Kristi, I love this post. It's sad, but what a day for you to post this. My brother in law left today for 14 months in Afghanistan. He's a marine and appreciates people like you who support our troops and hope for the best while they're deployed. So sad for the families who've suffered such loss though.
