IN MEMORY OF TROOPER WESLEY BROWN (MARYLAND STATE POLICE)
IN MEMORY OF SGT. DOUG WEDDLETON (MASSACHUSETTS STATE POLICE)
I write this story in memory of two brothers who recently were killed in the line of duty. Trooper Brown was killed working off-duty at an Applebee's restaurant in an ambush style attack. Trooper Brown had been on the force for three years and was recently engaged. Trooper Brown was working off-duty to fund an organization that he had founded that helped at risk inner city males. A link to the story is posted below.

Sgt. Weddleton was struck and killed by a drunk driver, while he was arresting another drunk driver. Sgt. Weddleton was a 28 year veteran and the father of four boys. A link to the story is posted below.

Similar stories to these repeat themselves day after day around our nation. For fellow blue blooders, we should learn what we can from the circumstances surrounding their deaths and work to honor their memory. For the public, this demonstrates the dangerous natures of our jobs.
(Negative comments will be deleted as soon as I find them, if you don't like law enforcement then at least show respect to two families who will have to learn to live without a loved one.)
