Now, because of serving and protecting us he will not be able to do so. He's a hero and fellow Officer in my book.

31. http://www.care2.com/c2c/share/detail/1098470 Denise's Sharebook Mar 26, 2009 I have a HUGE favor to ask of all of you. If you can, please do this. One of our cops was shot in the face here yesterday. He is a young guy. He was doing a well check and was in his car when he was shot. To make a long story short the shooter shot and killed his girlfriend, his girlfriends son, and himself. He also strapped a bomb to himself..... We couldn't get in or out. They had our street blocked off and many other streets too.. Anyway, back to what I am requesting. I would love it if you can send this officer a card........Just to let him know people care. I am going to send this to everyone and if you would like you can send it on. I am also going to post it in a few other places. His name is Sherif El Shami Officer Sherif El Shami c/o Orange City Police Department 207 N. Holly Orange City, Fl. 32706 USA Thanks to any of you that can do this. Please put that the Chief's sister, Denise Jo asked me to send this to you. That way he will know.
