Our Policeman is our Protector!

Police officers are injured every day across the world in the performance of their duties. Some of these physical injuries are debilitating and can leave an officer crippled. They are injured and sacrifice in many more ways than just physically. Being a cop is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job. Police Officers sacrifice in that they are working and protecting while we sleep, while we enjoy the holidays, while we vacation, while we work, all hours and all days are covered by the Police Officer, as one never knows when his services will be needed. Police Officers also sacrifice in their personal lives. Yes, they have personal lives! They do not always get to see their children play their baseball game or act their part in the school play. They rarely get to see them open their gifts at Christmas or get to relax with their family on other holidays, because they have chosen a profession that 99% of the populace will not and can not do. They have chosen to be our Protectors and they chose that role for many reasons. Police Officers sacrifice in other ways too. They sacrifice emotionally as well. They experience a high divorce rate, high suicide rate and higher than normal incidence of alcohol abuse. These are all sacrifices that the Police Officer makes and the job can take it's toll if allowed to. The ultimate sacrifice that an officer can make is signified by the 21 gun salute. That is giving his life in the line of duty to help and protect those that cannot help and protect themselves. Again this is a role that the Officer has chosen. May God bless all of their souls for the supreme sacrifice they made to make our world a better place.
