For responding to the calls of danger and, in the process placing your own life in peril time after time. For seeing sacrifice as simple "duty" ... and heroism as only "a day's work"... For allowing your community to work, play and sleep in peace by being a tireless watchman over the community we life in. You deserve my genuine and lasting thanks. Sincerely, Chief, Jeff Berry.
