Good evening, for those who monitor or visit our site, please know that we have not posted any information on our site in quite a while. I am unsure how all these feeds are coming in.

If something comes in that is offensive, I do apologize. We may be forced to delete our FB and rebuild it.

Prayers to those who serve and prayers to folks like this good man that serve those who serve and ask for nothing in return. Those behind the scenes you rarely hear about doing remarkable work.

Prayers for our Officer and all who loved her.

Thursday was a tough day for the Oklahoma City Police Department after an officer was hit and killed on Interstate 44 early this morning.

So many of you prayed hard for our friend Brandon Owens recently. We lost a warrior, but he fought as he lived with everything he had. His family and Church provide us this message.

Brandon tells us one of many stories here, take a minute and listen if you will, it will touch your heart.

This is the last phone conversation I had with Brandon. It was just after the U.S. vacated Afghanistan, and we left people behind. Brandon called me to just talk. As we were closing out our conversation, Brandon said "I have something to tell you, and you are not going to like it." So, I asked him, what's going on? Brandon said you know those we left behind in Afghanistan and need to get home? I said yes, he said, "Doug, I need to go and help them, I have the skills and have been trained to do this, they need help, and I need to go.... The conversation went on for a little longer as I made him a promise, and he made me a promise.

This is how Brandon lived his life, to serve and protect those who cannot protect themselves even if it meant putting his life on the line.

Arch Angel Michael has another warrior standing with him. We will never forget Brandon Owens, John Harris, and Richard Stephens.

Friends, brothers, and warriors, you are missed.

Please know that ERAP is engaged in raising funds for these good people to travel to D.C. Through the generous donation of a few of our contributors, we will be assisting. This is a wonderful story about one of my best friends, Sgt. John Harris. Det. Lake is spot on, I have so many memories of conversations with John regarding his dream and huge desire to help every emergency responder, and their families. I am proud of John's legacy and honored to call him a friend and brother. It cannot go without saying the love of Michelle, and his family allowed him to invest so much of himself to do God's work. Never to forget Sgt. John Harris, my friend, and brother in service for so many.

If any of our ERAP family would like to assist, please reach out to me. It is a privilege to assist the Oklahoma C.O.P.S organization in sending our families to D.C.
