Month of May

Date: 05/25/2015

The month of May brings a lot of activities for all families.  Some of the things that come to my mind are Mother's Day, high school graduations, college graduations, National Police Week, and Memorial Day. 

I hope all the mothers had a great day with their families and loved ones.

I would like to extend a congratulations to all local graduates rather it be from preschool, kindergarten, high school, or college.  And I want to wish you the best on your future endeavors. 

I would like to extend my gratitude to all veterans and thank each and every one of you for your service and sacrifice for our Country.  If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be able to celebrate Memorial Day as we know it. 

For National Police Week, I would like to thank everyone that attended the local candle light vigil and I want the family and friends of the fallen from Marion County to know that I mourn your loss and am here for you if you need me.  I would also like to thank the local Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 32 members and Dr. Kenny Hatcher, of the First Baptist Church of Guin, for everything they done for the local candle light vigil ceremony at the Marion County Courthouse on May 11, 2015. 

For those unable to attend, I would like to share some of the pictures with you.
