Week #10

Week 10 is here! For some of us, if not most, this will be the final week of classes before graduation. I think most of the instructors plan on holding their final exams this week even though next Monday and Tuesday is reserved for finals. I've got two finals and a presentation tomorrow and another final on Thursday. Yellow Brick Road run is this Wednesday. Weather is calling for a cold rain which will make getting muddy even more fun.

On Saturday, a group of us went up to DC to the National Museum of American History and also to some of the monuments. This was my first visit to the Vietnam War Memorial.
You don't realize how many lives were lost during that war until you actually see "The Wall" and all the names etched on it. I know that many lives have been lost during all of the wars but this memorial really puts its into perspective. I encourage everyone to visit all of the war memorials and remember the servicemen and women who gave their lives for our country so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have.

The final tally was posted from the Silent Auction. The 247th set the record with over $21,000 raised. $13,000 will be donated to COPS Kids and $8,000 will be donated to the Law Enforcement Memorial Building Fund.
