In memory of fallen heros

A beautiful service was held today in Eden Prairie for three public servants. Grace Church hit its capacity limit of 7600 people and Prince of Peace in Burnsville also hosted a viewing session. The two police officers and a paramedic were shot in the early hours of Sunday February 18th while trying to seperate seven children from a madman. Three men went to work and did not return home to their families.

I found this eulogy particularly poignant.

No matter how hard a day most people have at work, few of us face this risk.
