## Resource

In this poignant episode of John Solomon Reports, we honor the sacrifices made by our nation's heroes—veterans and police officers—especially as we approach Memorial Day. John Solomon shares the heartfelt mission of the Wounded Blue, an organization dedicated to supporting injured officers who have been left without a safety net after serving in the line of duty. Through powerful stories from courageous individuals who have faced unimaginable challenges, we shed light on the urgent need for community support and awareness. This episode features compelling narratives from officers like Hali Bradford, who recounts her harrowing experience of being shot in the line of duty and the subsequent abandonment by her department. With insight from Randy Sutton, the founder of the Wounded Blue, we discuss the systemic issues facing injured officers and the vital role that community contributions play in providing relief and resources. Additionally, we hear from Tania Owens, a retired deputy who lost her husband in the line of duty, as she shares her journey of grief and resilience. Her story emphasizes the ongoing struggles faced by families of fallen officers and the importance of support systems like the Wounded Blue. Join us in this special episode as we advocate for our heroes in blue and encourage listeners to contribute to the Wounded Blue's efforts.
