Walking for Special Olympics....

Special Olympians are giving their all, enjoying themselves and having fun all in the name of good sportsmanship.

These games continue each year because dedicated people make a difference. This difference was carried out this year in the name of the Cpl. Jared Shoemaker Memorial Walk. The Jared Shoemaker Memorial Walk may be over for this year, but the reason for the walk is continuing in Stillwater, OK. Giving the opportunity for those to give it their all.

The Cpl. Jared Shoemaker Memorial Walk (to benefit the Special Olympics) raised $12,000.00. In the last six hours, I have heard nothing but great praises for those who walked, gave of themselves, provided a donation, or just came to be a major supporter for this event.

It appears that the First Ever Cpl. Jared Shoemaker Memorial Walk will begin next year with, the Second Annual Cpl. Jared Shoemaker Memorial Walk.

For Special Olympics

This Monday a group of men and women began walking towards Stillwater Oklahoma to raise money for the Oklahoma Special Olympics.

This walk was named after a hometown hero, Cpl. Jared Shoemaker, USMC. Jared was also a Tulsa Police Officer. He served with distinction and honor according to Chief Dave Been.

On September 4, 2006, Cpl. Shoemaker was killed in Iraq while serving his country.

Now these individuals are honoring Jared by walking the 57 mile journey to benefit the Oklahoma Special Olympics. Serving was Jared's life long dream and there are several who have decided that the dream of service did not disappear when Jared lost his life.

You may honor Jared's journey by supporting the Special Olympics in his name. Visit www.firstgiving.com and when prompted, enter the name Comstock, JC. So far this effort has raised over $340.00.

You can make a difference by just making a donation today. Lets honor Jared together and make a difference in the life of an Oklahoma Special Olympian.

For We Remember

National Police Week begins today. If you are a law enforcement officer, you need to see and experience this event.

National Police Week honors those brothers and sisters who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their community. They are honored by many, loved by more and they will always be remembered for their sacrifice.

National Police Week began with the Law Ride 2010 (http://www.lawride.com/). This ride began at the RFK stadium. The participants rode to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Site and placed a wreath. This was the official kick off for the National Law Enforcement Memorial Week. This is the 15th year for the Law Ride.

On Monday, they will be hosting the 31st Annual DC area Memorial Service.

A Little R & R

Well, I arrived at work on Sunday, which is my Monday. I decided that since I could not take the day off, that I would just work the day, and put in for the rest of the week off. So I sit, playing on the computer and not doing much of anything.

By the way, did you know that there is a driver who believes that even though the light is red, that if no one is coming, that you can go a head and proceed past that red light. I wonder if this will mean he is not going to pay his $200.00 fine?

So after working two collisions, one vandalism and answering some 911 hang up calls, I say that it was a full working day (10 hours) and a nice trip home.

Then I enjoyed some oriental food and some time with the family. It was wonderful.
