Police Thank You Cards
I am a staunch supporter of our police officers! I appreciate the sacrifice these brave men and women make every day on behalf of our communities, and I try to pay back, and forward their efforts by treating officers to a meal when the opportunity arises. Therefore, I carry several of these cards around with me just in case! If in a drive thru or restaurant, I'll cover the officer's meal, and ask the waiter/waitress or cashier to give the officer the card.
