Very tragic and sad situation going on in Dallas, Texas right now. A peaceful protest turned very violent. At least two low life's took up sniper positions and opened up on the police. At least 11 police officers and one civilian have been shot. At least 4 of those officers have died. Several are in critical condition. The attack on our brothers and sisters, is an attack on us. Please pray for those officers that died, and their families, both blood and blue. Pray for our brave brothers and sisters that are still out there battling the evil.

Today, on Flag Day, June 14th, Sierra Post 785, of the American Legion, held a flag retirement ceremony in front of the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial Mural at the Visalia Convention Center. The ceremony was to respectfully retire American flags that are no longer able to serve as our National symbol. The flags were destroyed by fire, with Dignity, Respect and Honor, as per Flag Protocol. The Tulare County Sheriff's Honor Guard was represented at today's ceremony. It was an honor to be a part of this tradition. Thank you to Post Commander Bob Pineda, and Ceremony Commander Bob McNabb.

Last night officers and deputies from around Tulare County, Fresno and Morro Bay, attended the Exeter High School Senior Graduation. This was done for our extended family member, Valerie Vasquez. Valerie's father, Robert "Beto" Vasquez was a veteran police officer for the Farmersville Police Department. Officer Vasquez passed away from cancer in 2004, when Valerie was just 5 years old. Valerie grew up without her father, but had many LEO "uncle's" along the way. Her blood uncle, Roberts brother Ralphie, decided to surprise his niece by inviting us all to the graduation ceremony. It turned out to be a great surprise, and very emotional for Valerie, and all the big tough cops that were there. Not a dry eye in our group...yes including me. A great way for cops to Honor one of their own. Ed
