Thank You Randy for acknowledging this. All to often, public servants, whether they be teachers, police officers, fire fighters, etc. get overlooked in our Thank You's because 'it's their job'. Sgt. Tye Grant is my son and graduated from JHS in 88' and while I know for a fact that all these officers do not want, much less expect, public acknowledgement, they do appreciate and 'need' our thanks as often as possible. Tye and some officers stayed with us during those weeks and I can tell you that, for a guy that has (over his mother's objection) become fairly hardened to the horrors in this world, shed tears. Like many, his life was changed.
