Hurray for mom. My husband served 20 years in the Army (combat three times). When he retired, my plans were for him to be a teacher. He became one. He formed the college police force and trained youngsters to be police. He had also earlier been a Lieutenant with the Sheriff's Dept. I know once in his 17 years in law enforcement he fired his weapon, at a felon who stole a car, went through two counties and was about to hit a school bus filled with children. He stopped the felon by firing across the hood of his car. No one was hurt.
