This is the young man who will follow in his Dads footsteps(sorry for the side picture)
This is the young man who will one day lay down his life for you and keep you safe
This is a young man who makes his dad very proud (Police fathers get to hand their recruit sons their graduation certificate..its tradition)
This is the young man who will protect and help you This is the young man who will choose to serve his country,state and city.This is the young man who I have given wings to and is now beginning to fly.
This is the young man who not only graduated from police explorers but was the top leader and most academic recruit,he was also the most athletic but they had to spread the awards around. He was the most awarded recruit.
This is the young man who I am proud and honored to have as my son.
