Happy New Year

Fellow Emeralds,

May I take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Happy and Healthy New Year!!!

I want to thank all of you for all you have done to represent our law enforcement and Irish heritage proudly in 2008 !!! I look forward to all of us moving together in the same direction bringing honor to the great traditions and heritage with which we have been blessed! Through all of our efforts , our Los Angeles Police Emerald Society has established itself as a highly acclaimed partner in the law enforcement and Irish Cultural Community. Our Pipe and Drum Band continues to grow and improve and represent us with great distinction under the leadership of Pipe Major Scott Walton! A special thanks to Scott and our Los Angeles Police Pipe and Drum Band members for always being there displaying such talent, dedication, and heart!!!

2009 will be a year of challenges for all of us but I am confident, that together, as always, we will march forward proudly with our flags, banner and the sounds of the pipes and drums for our Society, our heritage and our Nation!

Excelsior!
Steve Saletros
President
Los Angeles Police Emerald Society
