Happy Thanksgiving, and GO IRISH!!!

Fellow Emeralds,

First, let me wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving! It is during Thanksgiving that we reflect on all the blessings that have been bestowed upon us and give thanks to the Almighty. It is a time for family and friends to celebrate these blessings around a traditional meal in the fellowship of a feast. Many of our brothers and sisters will be working in our law enforcement roles and our soldiers will be safeguarding our freedom and security around the world far from home. I ask that you remember them in your prayers, thoughts, and actions!

On a personal note, I would like all of you, my Emerald Society Brothers and Sisters, to know that I am honored and thankful to be associated with such a fine group of men and women as the Los Angeles Police Emerald Society. The spirit of the Claddagh ( Love, Loyalty, Friendship) is alive and well and thriving among our Society as we continue to express the best of our law enforcement and Irish heritage! So it is with a heart full of gratitude that I thank all of you for what you have done for our heritage and our Los Angeles Police Emerald Society and I thank the Lord for having brought us together as one!

Happy Thanksgiving!
