A Houston police office drowned while going to work on Sunday morning.

Very sad. Thoughts and prayers go out the officer, his family and those he worked with. Sorry, I am unable to link the story, but it came from NBC news.

The responders are by now, constantly tired, hungry, soaking wet.

The finest people in the world.

They should have a parade when this is all over, a huge one.
