Fire chief handing out leadership books
Applauds timely message

When I read Chief Bobby Halton’s “Pro Deo et Patria” (Editor’s Opinion, November 2019), I was flying from Indiana to New York.

I nearly cheered out loud but restrained myself knowing that many passengers on the flight would likely not share my sentiments. I applaud Chief Halton for the courage to speak loudly and with commanding truth in the fight for and dedication to God and country. His words are timely and appropriate.
