Since Snoga’s BBQ closed, the last Saturday each month retirees luncheon had to find a new location. I am at Dee Willie’s on Hwy 87E just east of FM 1516 in China Grove. They have a big dining area and some tables can be put together for a group. The food is great and priced like most places The sausage is the best I’ve had in awhile. So on February 26, any active or retired SAPD Officer or civilian, and spouses, are welcome to come by, unless anyone knows a better location near the Southeast side. On the End of Watch Anniversary of SAPD Fallen Officers, Cadets conduct a remembrance flag raising at the Memorial Wall. Selected cadet calls out the E.O.W. (End of Watch) and Name of the Officer(s) being honored that morning. Flags remain at half-staff during operational hours throughout the day. All Officers, SAPD Survivors, Families and Friends are invited to attend. Please contact the Training Academy for any questions: Dates: "Remembering Our Heroes," and the End of Watch dates are Attached. Holiday and weekend flag raising's occur on the closest work day.

I also face-planted on the parking lot asphalt and sustained contusions and hematomas to forehead and face. CAT scan showed no fractures there or brain bleed Thank you God. after a rough painful journey we have found an excellent Orthopedic surgeon who will do the repairs needed. My Surgery is scheduled for this next Monday. Prayers please for me and my family and friends who have taken good care of me keeping me home.  Prayers needed:
