For the eighth straight year, Alan played in the annual Guns 'N Hoses charity hockey game. This year, they split the proceeds (which in the end, was a pretty awe-inspiring total!) between a few different places, most notably to the family of a Millard County deputy who was killed in the line of duty during a traffic stop just a few weeks before the game. It was, to me, a great mark of the success they have had, that they could just react to such a tragedy with aid. That has always been their goal and it is impressive to me that, even through something this small that has become huge, they have reached it. I know they'll keep striving to help more public safety officers who are the victims of nothing more than doing their job.
The games are always lots of fun and full of good-spirited trash-talking. At the end of the day, everyone has to go back to work where they basically play for the same team. But the firefighters still won. You would think I would experience some difficulty in loyalty there. Since I started my job, police officers hold a special place in my heart.
Yeah, no difficulty. I hope our firefighters win again next year.
