Last week we lost our K9 Police officer when he was deployed with his unit of the National Guard, over to Afghanastan. Today was his funeral. All, and I mean ALL of the surrounding communities came together to pay respect for our fallen hero. A neighboring town brought over their fire trucks, stationed them across from each other to raise their ladders, which they hung a HUGE flag in honor of Sgt. Mycal Prince. Hundreds of bikers paid tribute to him, along with ALL the surrounding officers, from the police, the sheriffs office, fire departments, ambulances. Seems our whole town shut down for this tribute. So many people came together. One little old man was even giving out little flags to all the kids that didn't have one. Was truly awesome.

God Bless Mycal's family, and although words are not not near as good as loosing your life, Thank You for giving so much so that we may have freedom in the United States.
