I for one agree with everyone who wants this to continue. It is difficult to understand why anyone would complain about a free service. I look forward to each and every email. I fully agree that we need to have a place on the Jack county website where these can be posted so we will have them all the time. Dorman is working with me to get my great great grandfather name placed on the police wall of fame. Please don't stop what you are doing!!
