DEPARTMENT ORDER # 5, 2020-2021 – Christmas

DEPARTMENT ORDER # 5, 2020-2021

This is the time of year we think of family and good friends as we celebrate the Holidays of Christmas and the New Year. Let us also remember those who will not be with loved ones this holiday season. Instead, they stand guard for us on distant and sometimes hostile shores, on the high seas and patrolling our skies.
Let us also remember those Firefighters, Police Officers and Paramedics who will be on duty helping to keep us safe.
May you all enjoy the blessing of Christmas as you share good times with family and friends remembering our Lord Jesus Christ is the reason for the season.
The Officers of the Department of Tennessee join me in wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
