Letter: We need to ‘back the blue’
Brandon Stalker, Anthony Dia, Kaia Grant, James Skernivitz, and Adam McMillan. These five names all have something in common. All five people are heroes and were never recognized for it. These five police officers were tragically killed in 2020 and 2021 protecting the citizens of Ohio.
It is time to start supporting and recognizing all of the hard work done by our law enforcement. When an officer leaves his house every day for work, he tells his family how much he loves them because he doesn’t know if he will walk back through those doors at the end of the day. Police officers risk their lives everyday for us, so we can live free.
