Thank you for your support.Day 9: I wish I had more pictures, but I don't think to snap them in the moment.
Today's post is dedicated to our officers in Brown: The Iowa State Patrol. Morning shift, night shift, first week, second week- we have friends in all shifts. I have heard more of the history as to why Betties has a special relationship with these men and women. It goes back way before my time. Growing up, I remember my Poppo saying, "They serve us, we serve them." But it's more than that. It's a friendship that has been passed down both on their end and ours. Retired troopers come back to say hello and give hugs. Troopers bring their family by when off duty. I have met new State Troopers this year that only know the stand as Karen's hot dogs. :) It's really something special.
Betties crew has always been watched over and probably always will. A hot dog and some soda doesn't seem like much, but hopefully the men and women in brown know how much we appreciate them and all they do.
Thank you Iowa State Patrol for your service. Stay safe out there! ...And if you're hungry, you know where to find us.🌭
