Most of you out there may not recognize the name Jeremy Henwood. Go ahead and click on his name and read a bit about him, I'll wait.
Back? Good. What the Officer Down Memorial Page doesn't explain is that just before Officer Henwood was murdered, he performed a random act of kindness by buying a child a meal at a McDonald's restaurant. Not because he had to, but because it was right and that's the kind of guy he was.
So as a way to remember Officer Henwood, along with other fallen heroes like him, Tuesday August 6th is the unofficial "Buy a Burger Day" in honor of him. Its simple folks, all you have to do is to buy a burger or sandwich for a stranger. Tell them your doing it for Jeremy. It may seem like a small act but such random acts of kindness can lead to bigger ones. Maybe in this small way we can make each of our little parts of the world a bit better.
So don't forget about it on August 6th and pass the word on to your friends. And thanks to The Wise Guy for bring this to my attention.
And to Jeremy Henwood, his family and fellow officers, you and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Sincerely,
STC
