Recognition and appreciation for Stambaugh and Logan County Police

To the editor:

There is a young man in our community who deserves some recognition. His name is Tyler Stambaugh. All too often, our young people are praised for their personal achievements (i.e. athletics, academics, etc.) Tyler should be recognized for the selfless act of organizing the Logan County Police Officer Appreciation Day. To his credit, he said that he couldn’t have done it without the help of Lincoln Daily News.

We were impressed when we read about Tyler’s plans for the event along with his thoughts and attitude in relation to the world situation and the publics view of the police forces around the country. His ambition to organize this event as a thank you for our local officers speaks volumes about his character.

We attended the event, which was held at the fairgrounds on Saturday, July 10. Sadly, the weather at the start of the event was stormy but the worst of it had passed by 5:00 p.m.

[to top of second column in this letter]

This event should have been attended by hundreds, if not thousands of local residents. However, we were disappointed and embarrassed to see, what appeared to be, more volunteers than individuals wishing to show their support for the police officers throughout the county. We are blessed to live in a community where we feel safe and will not take that safety for granted.

Thank you, Tyler, and all who assisted in the organizing of this event and thank you to our police force for all you do to make our community a great place to live and raise a family.

Laura and Jim Davidson
