Going-Away Celebration for Wounded Deputy Chris Dewey

Our honored guest for nearly the past year, Mahnomen County (MN) Dep. Chris Dewey, will be heading home to Minnesota in the next couple of weeks (they are still in the process of finalizing where Chris will continue his rehab and care). As such, we are asking all local and visiting law enforcement personnel to meet at the Irish Rover Pub (http://www.irishroverpub.com), 54 South Broadway, Denver, TOMORROW, January 18th, starting at 1600 hours, to honor, pray with, and bid farewell to Chris and Emily. The media is invited but we are asking them to be respectful and not make this a spectacle. Rather, this is our opportunity to honor one of our own who has paid (and continues to pay) a terrible price for his service as a peace officer (see http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/chrisdewey for more on Chris). Secondly, this event will also serve as our opportunity to recognize Emily for her awe-inspiring love and devotion she has shown (and will continue to show) for her husband. Emily is a strong Christian woman but she needs your prayers and support as she cares for her wounded warrior.

Come in uniform if you like – Chris loves it and we can salute our brother as he leaves for home. Finally, both Chris and Em need your continued prayers as they still have a long way to go. Praise God, both know Christ as Lord and Savior! Finally, there will be an opportunity to donate for our fellow warrior's future care.

Denver PD Officer Danny Veith is coordinating this event -- feel free to contact him for further information: danny.veith@denvergov.org. See ya tomorrow afternoon!
