I just figured that I'd take this little beautiful moment to toast those
officers, all of whom work in one of the most dangerous jobs around --
could you imagine having to put on a bulletproof vest before *you* went
to work everyday?  These fine men and women face down drug dealers, wife
beaters (and the occasional husband beater -- it happens!), thieves,
kidnappers...and more often than not, they have a gun, and they will use
it.

This is Amanda. I will second this toast, in a rare serious moment. San
Antonio has lost two officers in recent months in the line of duty, the
most recent just this month. He was a 25-year veteran, who had answered
a domestic disturbance call, and was shot. He was a friend of my friend
Jodi's husband, himself a 22-year veteran, former member of a SWAT team.

They also serve who only stand and wait, true, but those on the front
lines should get some credit occasionally.
