To Jim O'Bryan -- A True Community Asset

Tip of the hat to Mr. O'Bryan and The Lakewood Observer for capturing this important piece of Lakewood history and the commemoration of our public-safety community and the courage displayed on this tragic day in our national history by their colleagues.

Jim, you and your camera mean a lot to all of us!
