Recently, I’ve been especially fortunate to work with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to help end homelessness and to help support caregivers of wounded and ailing Veterans. This week, I also started working with Chris Cosgriff of the Officer Down Memorial Page to help redesign and enhance www.ODMP.org.
While home on winter break during his freshman year of college in 1996, Chris read an article in The Washington Post that set him on his life’s course. It was about a man about to be paroled after killing two police officers. To Chris, the article seemed to glorify the killer and ignore the sacrifice of the officers.
