The Story Behind the Photo: An Officer and His Horse

“As time slips through our fingers like grains of beach sand we are quickly brought around to yet another “Feel Good Sunday” installation.

Today, I would like to share with you a favorite of mine; a picture that speaks a thousand words.

This will not happen on my watch!

Keep the faith my friends!” ~ R.T.
