Thank you
On August 5th, 1997, I was shot in the line of duty during a standoff with a parole absconder. The primary reason I survived this incident is due to the training I received from the Springfield Police Department and the USAF. The poor out of support from the members of the Springfield Police Department was amazing during my recovery. Had this incident ended differently in 1997, I know my wife would have received great support from the department. With the GC 100 club now in existence it is nice to know that there are other options out there for Public Safety Personnel when dealing with a tragic event. I would like to thank the organizers and the donors for all they are doing for our area of the state.
Sincerely,
Sgt. Greg Wheelen
