Homeboys of the Month
Its been awhile since I've given out one of these awards but the Homeboys of the Month are Sheriff Richard Wiles and the El Paso County Sheriff's Officers' Association.
Homeboys is a general term. It includes the several women who also participated in the escort!
We lost a deputy that did a lot of work in the Valley and his presence is missed.
People from the Lower Valley from Ysleta and Del Valle areas all the way out to San Eli and Tornillo showed their respect for the fallen deputy. Its impossible to have not been touched by this story.
Sheriff Wiles is up for re-election and I give him props for being very low-key during this tragedy that has affected our community. You don't see him jumping in front of cameras trying to capitalize on a tragedy.
The EPCSOA organized an escort for the deputy's daughter's first day back to school following the funeral of her late father.
That is a beautiful gesture for the daughter to let her know that she will always have her dad's colleagues and friends looking out for her.
The guys don't get paid extra to do this for her. They do it partly out of respect for a fallen brother, professional courtesy, and I'll bet a whole lot of them are dads themselves and would want their fellow brethren in blue to do the same for them if God forbid they were in the same situation.
Respect gentlemen, respect.
