RIP Officer Craig Birkholz

On Sunday, March 20 the Fond du Lac Police Department lost an officer. Officer Craig Birkholz was shot and killed in the line of duty while trying to save a fellow officer. His memorial service is today, and all week I have been crying on and off just thinking about what his wife is going through. Officer Ryan Williams was the officer Birkholz was trying to save after he was shot twice by the man they were called about. Thankfully, Officer Williams had the intuition to grab an extra bullet proof vest so he had two on. If he hadn't follow his instincts chances are he wouldn't still be here today. My prayers and thoughts go out to the families of both of these officers as well as to all the brothers in blue who put their lives on the line every day to keep our cities safe.
