Pray for our responders this Christmas as they are away from their families - and never forget the impact you could have in showing kindness to others.

There are some stories that truly speak to the heart and retired Ohio State Trooper Bob Welsh’s touching poem, “My Christmas Eve”, is certainly one of them. ...

Preparing for our Officer Wellness Retirement Course!

Retirement is certainly emotional for someone who has invested so much into their career. For law enforcement and first responders as a whole, the last day on the job grabs you like you wouldn't imagine. It's emotional, scary, and exciting all at once.

We are grateful to be able to help prepare First Responders and their loved ones for this day whether it's unexpected or decided. There is so much to be proud of when you have spent your career serving others!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

It's always good to pause and remember what we have to be thankful for - even in the midst of challenges, we can always point to something as simple as the sunshine. Whether the list of blessings feels long and full or the day feels harder this year, we hope your Thanksgiving provides gentle reminders of peace.

Also, THANK YOU to our wonderful first responders and frontline workers who are working today!
