Letter to the editor:

Police officers deserve gratitude

I take my hat off to the Henderson Police and all police officers in this country. They have the most thankless occupation man has bestowed upon his fellow man.

I had a small taste of police work when I was in the Navy as a shore patrol person. We had to keep drunk and disorderly sailors in line. While in foreign countries we had to patrol some real bad locations in coastal cities.

Many people owe their very lives to American police officers. We live in a country with the largest prison population what an honor. These criminals get to live behind bars because of the men and women behind the badge doing a thankless job.

Let the thousands of prisoners we have incarcerated out into our neighborhoods and then tell me how you feel about police officers. They are our first line of defense.

Keep up the good work, ladies and gentlemen. We need you more than we are willing to admit.
