I would like to take this opportunity to express my personal appreciation to the young people involved in the Anderson County 4-H Club.
I am a reserve Anderson County deputy sheriff, and was “on-duty” late in the evening, on Tuesday, Nov. 25, in the patrol office writing a report. While in the office several young people, along with their sponsors, came into the sheriff’s office bearing four large and I mean “large” platters filled with home baked cookies. These young people, all part of the Anderson County 4-H, said they were there to show appreciation to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office for the work we were doing.
As you can imagine, I was deeply impressed with the sincerity and enthusiasm displayed by this group of young people. It is not often, in this day and time, to see such a display of the true American spirit, and I was deeply moved. I can say, assuredly these young people demonstrated the true spirit of 4-H (Head, Heart, Hands and Health.)
Each young person personally shook my hand and said “Thanks”! I cannot describe the warm feeling that came over me at this gesture. In fact, it not only “made my day” personally, but also that of the many people I told about this afterwards.
I wish I could have gotten each young person’s name so I could mention them individually, but I was so overwhelmed at the time that I did not do so. So, I would appreciate the use of a small amount of space in the Herald Press, to acknowledge, and personally thank, each one of them, their sponsors, and the 4-H club for their thoughtfulness. May God bless each of them.
