Remember April, 1775
4-19-1775
4-19-1995 Oklahoma City Bombing
4-19-2005...day I swore to uphold the constitution of the US and State of Washington as a Police Officer.
The significance of those dates were not lost on me as I shook the then Chief’s hand and swore my oath of office.
That my swear in date fell on the anniversary of those two events is always a reminder of the significance of what I do at work each day and that I should fulfill my oath to the Constitution.
(No I do not think the OKC bombing is same as Lexington and Concord and I am not a supporter of that terrorist act...just to be clear)
