This post goes out to friends of mine who are dealing with not only job loss, but a mobilization to Iraq. Beck is one of the 75 unemployed officers being forced to hang up their uniforms and badges due to the economy. On top of that, her friend, also a police officer, is being deployed overseas for 400 days. The kids will be in turmoil for a long time, and I feel so bad for them.
Despite their on-going strife, they still attended the Toledo Police Memorial Ceremony today to honor fellow officers killed in the line of duty.
They didn't let their own despair overshadow the meaning of today's memorial. Maybe they were even feeling fortunate to be able to still attend such a somber, yet necessary event. At any rate, I hope Beck can remember the good times when the bad times seem to dominate.
Beck is on the right in this photo.
