- There are some stories that truly speak to the heart and retired Ohio State Trooper Bob Welsh’s touching poem, “My Christmas Eve”, is certainly one of them. With his permission, we had the honor of recreating his poem (original can be found here- chp.click/bobw....
Mr. Welsh’s poem represents our mission to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security to those we serve. This is something which is truly shared by every member of public service, no matter the patch, badge, uniform, or job description. The opportunity to serve the people of California is the greatest of gifts and this poem is a great reminder to us all that even the smallest gesture or action can have a positive impact on those around us.
The underlying message of this poem brings to light how impaired driving can impact not only your life, but the lives of those who love you. We urge you to never drive impaired. Please have a plan in place to get home safely before you celebrate this holiday season.
While this video was produced internally, entirely by CHP employees, we could not have done it without the help of many people and wish to extend our gratitude to: Bob Welsh, CHP - Truckee, Michael A. Del Puppo, the CHP Museum, Loch Leven Lodge, Jax At The Tracks, Milne Towing Services, Cal-Nevada Towing, Michael Bittner, Mr. and Mrs. Calcutt, Mr. and Mrs. Wayland, and Mr. and Mrs. Ball.

5 minutes
They used 5 minutes to show us what police work is all about, they used 5 minutes to teach us how to be a good cop , they used 5 minutes to teach us kindness
And it works , I am impressed and trying very hard not to cry right now
瑞塔貝 Same.
Same, buddy.
To late for the ending of your sentence for me.
parker02311 I’m sorry? What
@@peraltawilson4382 he was saying he was already crying
I shared this poem via email with a Nevada State Trooper friend of mine many years ago. I expected him to say he had already seen it. Instead, he replied how touched he was by it and had forwarded it to many others in the agency. He said it got a great response from other troopers. It's good to see the poem was turned into this wonderful video. A big Thank You to troopers and those who protect us everywhere.
A Merry Christmas and may God Bless all that volunteer to man the Thin Blue Line 💪👮🌲
I was born in Los Angeles in the early 50's. The CHP has done a superb job keeping our communities safe while holding themselves to the highest ethical standards. God Bless the CHP and all LEO's.
This makes me wanna cry My Grand father died in the line of duty as the Chief of the DEA He died a long time ago in a raid
🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤
Beautiful ❤️🎄🇺🇸
Absolutely beautiful! This is what humanity should be all about. Thank you to all who put their lives on the line to help others!
Welcome to the real America. We love our country because of people like this.
That was an amazing video! God bless all the officers who work work on Christmas, away from their families, so that everyone else can enjoy a safe Christmas with their families💙 god bless
Crying. God bless.
Remember this when you meet our police. You matter because they matter.
This is beautiful…made me cry. It was sent to me by a fellow nurse. She told me to thank my son who is a Louisiana State Trooper.
Absolutely beautiful and so touching thank you for posting this
This truly made me start crying at work.
wonderful story and true
This is pretty fantastic. Well done.
The best!!!!!
God bless all law enforcement.
That was an amazing amazing video. Great job.
Now that you saw this video and perhaps shed a tear.....why not greet a policeman next time you see one with "Thank you for your service." Their lives are often in just as much danger as our fine military soldiers.
Not even subscribed, how am I watching this???????
One time when I was younger I had a dog that was killed my a car and I was far from home so I started walking home, many cars passed me but there was a CHP who stopped and gave me a ride home while driving home he asked me why was I crying then I told him someone ran over my dog. So one Christmas the same Trooper came by my house and gave me a puppy, this is one thing I will always remember
That’s so nice of him.
What a legend mate and btw hey wolf😏
Sup
That’s truly inspirational
Wolf Master8814 aww
You guys and gals of the CHP honestly keep my faith in law enforcement bc you are the best and bravest
Who's cutting onions in here
Right?
Yeah. Right in the feels.
This dam onion ninjas
OMG you too,where did they get a full bushel of onions all peeled at once.
Crap, it stings!
'Snirrff' 😢
Who is cutting onions T-T
Yeah same here. Never see it coming until it's TOO late!

Dad was CHP. Died in 2012. Miss him so much. Thanks for the warm feelings and memories.
Sorry for your loss,How long did he serve?
@@pingupng9672 Served on local PD for 5 years then joined the CHP family in 1965. He really loved what he did but when he retired he became a school bus driver and enjoyed the little kids!
@@sherrywyllie2163 Oh cool, sounds like a great career, im in the uk but hoping to emigrate to California and join the police, maybe LAPD.
@@pingupng9672 well if so I wish you safe travels my friend.
@@ray7922 thank you very much, someone suggested Fayetteville, Arkansas to me and it looks great. Cheap but nice houses, a PD that is hiring, perfect. I wish you safe endeavours aswell my freind.
That was so beautifully done. Honestly brought tears to my eyes ❤️
Do you realize what’s in your last name / surname
Thank you for such a beautiful story. Yes it bought tears to my eyes. 😇🙏
Omg 😯 de dat mad my in ters
& there are still idiots that want to "de-fund" the police!!!
Thank god i wasn’t the only one 🥲
I'm sure like many of you, this brought some tears to your eyes. I was reflecting on some of the things I did this time of the 33 years I served the San Antonio Police Department. At times loaning people money you yourself didn't have, breaking policy to carry a down and out person in the patrol car. Once I paid for a wrecker that the sick woman was unable to pay. This was not a job, it was a passion, I saw some who didn't have it and moved on only after a short time on the job. God Bless all the officers in all the police departments.
My family is SAPD, Brothers, nephew and nephew and niece in SAFD, nephew border patrol ... to name a few❤
@@laurahill2202 come January, I'll be gone for 24 years. Loved almost every day of it, but would not go back to it in today's world for all the whiskey
in Ireland.
Yes, I retired from nursing, 25 years, and I would never go back. My husband retired from Williamson County jail county jail he, too, will never go back lol
Thank you for your service sir
God bless you each! Y'all may never go back, but when the time comes you'll step up. Your hearts won't let you turn away when someone in need crosses your path. God puts all things, all beings in place so we can glorify Him with acts of love, humility, kindness. So may God bless you for acts done, and those to come. Happy and peaceful New Year!
That is what being a cop is all about
😂😂
Okay... still ... Appreciate All LEOs everywhere for all they do.
This is the worst part of the job. You have to do it but never ever get used to it. Our Officers are the best...they have the biggest hearts and always go well above and beyond. We love you all and pray for your safety. We have the best family on the planet. Thanks guys you are all AWESOME.
@@andreashuber2221 This what being HUMAN, is all about.
@@maureenmcglynn638
Thanks for the b
This deserves an award
And an award it got!
I think these comments are it's reward
This I can’t disagree with.
Why does RUclips only have a like button and not a love button. I too was cutting onions while watching this ZARKA X. To the CHP officers and supporters, have a safe and happy holiday's take care stay safe.
I agree 100%... there should be a Love button.
*THIS* is why I want to be a cop.
Not for the shiny badge
Not the pride or respect,
Nor the shiny lights they put on their cars.
It is not arresting and ending lives,
Its to help fellow man. To help those who can't themselves. To help the community. To serve and protect, I shall live.
Follow your dreams man!!
Exactly the same with me
Agreed!
Sarge_m16 ok also get ready for depression
Sarge_m16 watch this video called the dark truth of being a cop
This brought a flood of years to my eyes. It forced me to recall as a young patrol officer responding to an accident call approximately thirty minutes before midnight on a snowy New Years Eve . I won't go into details, but suffice to say I will never forget the loss of an infant girl beneath a spare tire in an overturned station wagon. I am sure I speak for every patrol office, fireman, and EMT who ever responded to a call or worse yet, to a family home to break the news! I will never ever forget any of them over a 37 year career. It is something no amount of training can prepare you for.
Amazing video, thank you guys for your service. Merry christmas.
God Bless
Touched my soul! 🤗
As a retired police officer, I remember doing things like this for those in need. It always made me want to go back to work everyday to see if I can do it again. This is why brave men and women become police officers. Thank you CHP for this beautiful video to remind why we do what we do. Certainly brought tears to my eyes.
The problem with the police is they always show up after the fact. If you really want protection you have to protect yourself
@@stevescontriano860
It's unrealistic to expect them to show up before a crime. However, I think I know what you mean.
Thank you so much for Your Service Officer❤️
As a retired Pennsylvania State Trooper this brought back memories and tears. God bless to my brothers and sisters in Law Enforcement who are working the holidays. You will be in my prayers.
Never forget that call of honor, Troop.
I’m a retired police lieutenant. Divorced 19 years. Never had kids. Never remarried. As the years pass, I steadily become more content with being alone. This video spoke to me. It struck a cord. Thank you CHP. Merry Christmas.
Ret. Lieutenant Bob “Ponch” Stavola
Great job on the video CHP. Stay safe out there this holiday season and watch your 6. Blue love from an Ohio Brother in Blue
Thanks brother, you be safe as well. God bless.
Quit damaging my flag!
Thank you for your service Mike and please stay safe. ❤
To all my fellow brothers and sisters out on the beats, be safe this holliday season, remember what is important. Remember why we do it and who we do it for, the deserving innocent, like the little girl in this video. These are the types of things that make all the horribal things not seem so bad. Merry Christmas, Espirit De Corps
I always pray a hedge of protection around All LEOs everywhere to be safe, secure and alive as they go to work patrolling the neighborhoods they are assigned to ... Thank You is never enough to say
@@poohbearmom64 A simple thank you means more to us than you know. God bless and Merry Christmas.
Thank you so very much for protecting and serving. I hate to imagine what life would be without the men/women in blue. Stay safe and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Merry Christmas

@@485chase Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🎄 🎆 May you have a safe and prosperous 2020.
What a beautiful and moving video. As the wife of a policeman, there were many holidays we had to celebrate without Daddy. But he always explained to our boys that it was a privilege and special service to be out there helping others, when they needed it. I know, like myself, our boys were always proud of the sacrifice he gave. He is retired now, but still finds joy in serving others, at church or as a volunteer with the State Wildlife Service. I guess it’s just his nature to give to others. I’m so lucky to have him in my life.
A good testament to your husband. You are blessed indeed.
AND BLM ANTIFA AND DEMORATS HATE THE POLICE. THERE ALL SICK VILE PEOPLE WE NEED THE POLICE. I PRAY FOR THE POLICE EVERYDAY. GOD BLESS THE POLICE ANDALL POLICE TROOPERS. AMEN.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful selfless heart. Troopers are secret angels of the most High God. That was a moving video of he that sows kindness will reap the same, Long live California State Patrol!
What a tear jerker CHP. I'm not crying, you're crying. Thank you for all you do to keep us safe !
SEMPER-FI to the CHP
If I lived in California I would want to join the CHP. Unfortunately i live over in the UK, but this video shows the true family mentality behind all law enforcement agencies across the world.This video made me have even more respect for the men and women who have to give that saddening knock. Knowing and talking to people in the military they say it is one of the hardest things to do and it stays with you forever. So i wish all at the CHP a very merry Christmas. I hope no one has to hear that knock this Christmas time.
From one officer to another thank you brothers we need more like him
These are the life experiences of some of our often unsung heroes who we should always include in our prayers!
Amen Hunter...It's too bad media tend to concentrate on the very few who create issues for the masses of awesome police officers out there...
Amazing stories, very well done (on a side-note, I really like how classic vehicles are used from the era when these stories took place)
Yeah I noticed that too! Seeing a CHP Mustang in action brought back some memories from childhood.
Casper's Cave i saw it in the thumbnail and the whole thing was too good not to click. i wasn’t disappointed in the least.
Exceptionally well done!
But would a mustang be working that high elevation?
@@scottystiffchicken it could, just probably wouldn't be as powerful that high up compared to being at sea level
I just discovered Bob Welsh's poem a few days ago & fell in love with it instantly. Thank you for this superb adaptation! May God protect, guard & guide all those in law enforcement. Thank you for your selfless service.
OK then, tissue please...
The set up to my induction into this poetic masterpiece was skewed a little by the kleenex warning preceding content. I was wondering that if tears or angst prevailed, then how would we get some form of holiday "Happy" back? The video's images along with sensitivity, soon swaged my unnecessary concerns. Thanks for sharing this sensitive and timely video....budman.
@@budrandolph3028 same
I almost turned this off thinking this was going to be too depressing ..However, it immediately turned into the most spiritual Christmas message ever!!! Thankyou for this sharing. Liz
Amazing! My dream is to become a CHP Trooper. This is truly amazing!
@Thecarkid 11 thank you so much man! I really appreciate that!
@@dagomz Correction, Trooper
@@dagomz Actually there Trooper's
I'd love to become a CHP Trooper, but I'm from Italy
One day you'll be living your dream! bro keep it dreaming
Holidays are hard being law enforcement. Fatal crashes on Christmas, suicides on Thanksgiving. Those memories (flashbacks) hit hard after retirement. Did I do all I could? Did I act fast enough? Questions that have no answers. Be safe my brothers and sisters on the road.
"The message behind this video: "never miss an opportunity to extend kindness". So many of the problems of the world could be resolved by abiding by those simple words. Genius, yet touching at the same time.
Maybe i am from Europe exactly Poland, but CHP for me is something nice. I would like to join there, but you know. My English is not that good so. Anyway: NICE VIDEO
Maxim - I am from Hungary and I did become an officer in a police dept. You can do it!
I will become CHP and protect California this video is what being a cop is a about thank you for your service I hope to be the next generation
A tear jerker but good. The kindness of one person cannot be underestimated.....it ripples on as does a rock thrown in the water. We are our brothers keepers.
I am new to Facebook. I found this video. I am a retired Chicago Police Officer. I spent 28 years on the job. I have many memories of showing compassion and caring to people in need. My faith played a big part in my career. I worked in a unit of the CPD that responded to injuries and on occasions deaths to officers while on duty. This video shows a side of Law Enforcement that the public will never understand. God Bless the Brave Men and Women in Law Enforcement. They are TRUE HERO'S.
Mike Sullivan, Star # 9204, retired Chicago Police.
God bless my brother from a retired Pennsylvania State Trooper. Merry Christmas ❤️
Who is cutting onions while I'm trying to watch RUclips 😭
Yep. No shame.
Thank you for a touching video. My father is a retired NYSP. My brother and I are grown. Mom is gone. Dad now resides in Florida during the winter. He turns 90 years old on Christmas eve. Alone. Love him more than anything.
Been trucking for over 40 years from coast to coast ..... I’m proud to share the road with the men and women of the California highway patrol . Merry Christmas to all of you !!
Respect law enforcement it’s hella sad people hate law enforcement for doing there job
Thank you for spreading this across our Country! This goes to show our Law Enforcement isn't always abusive, rude or mean. We need change from those videos and to these. These are the videos our communities need to see, thank you CHP!
Not only "isn't always abusive, rude or mean," but rarely. Great story and video that so well represents the dedication and heart of those who so often risk their own lives to protect and serve others. Thanks for a beautiful Christmas Eve story!
This ones such a touching story. Especially during such a difficult time for our officers by that i mean with all the officers being murdered across the states. Please know that not all of us are against you and i am one of the many that back you guys thank you all for your service.
We need more of these “reality videos” at this time! More than ever!
Came back to this video to push the YT algorithm and bump this up!
This is most excellent :-) Love seeing that Mustang 5.0 CHP cruiser :-) What a great story :-) Merry Christmas everybody :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas to you too!!
Have a Rocking Christmas
We must all remember how an act of kindness can change a life forever!
This is a heartbreaking story, it reminds me why we are out there.
I had the honor to ride along with the CHP, their officers truly make a difference.
To all fellow officers and first responders stay save and merry christmas
This is why we need police. I thought of this video now that people are calling for police forces to be disband. Police do so much for our public safety.
This was absolutely beautiful!! I have always been proud of the CHP. Always. I remember New Year's Eve, 1996. We didn't get a visit, we got a phone call from The Chief Of Police of Tom Bean, TX. 9 members of my family were killed by a drunk driver in an ice storm between Tom Bean and Whitewright, TX. He was so kind and calm and my heart just broke for him, he suffered our loss along with us. When we flew out to Texas, we landed at DFW, rented a van ( all adult children - 5 of us) and drove straight to Tom Bean where the bodies were at the coroners. He was the first one to greet us at the station door and he embraced all of us and that's when we lost it. This man who didn't know us, had never heard of us til the the day before, helped us at the most horrible time of our lives and I will never forget him and his compassion. And now I have to dry my computer off because I have cried all over my keyboard. Merry Christmas to the men & women of the CHP! Be safe!
Holy crap this is so sad! This cop is literally a staple for all cops should follow!
Glitchy I agree, believe it or not though, the majority of cops do things like this all the time. The media won’t ever know about the daily good deeds that go unnoticed however. Merry Christmas!
Many of them already are of this caliber, Glitchy. How do I know this? I served alongside many of them for over 20 years.
Aaron Michael ok
Police officers do this alot. The media never shows it though.
I always return this every Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas 2020 to all who read this
Im from hungary and i Liked california higway patrol its good police!
Hello 🇭🇺
Katie Kane szevasz te is szeretnél CHP lenni?
Thank you to every officer protecting the streets while everyone else gets to stay home and celebrate their Christmas with their families
As a retired police officer I remember doing these exact same things. It was the most rewarding career helping the community that I love.
The video showed a diner in Truckee, CA. I grew up near Truckee at Lake Tahoe. I knew a wonderful CHP officer by the name of Paul Whitting. He was a good man and a great influence on me. I thank you for the poem and the wonderful, powerful video. Go CHP! May your entire department have a great 2019.
Made me cry. Thank god I am still with my retired trooper. There is so much truth in this video. God Bless all our law enforcement present and retired.
I remember working swing shift beat 102, 12 now. I get a call of a stalled vehicle blocking, arrived on scene and it’s an elevated freeway with a curve to the left with no shoulder just north of the airport. I got on the PA, the driver followed directions and was able to push the car off the freeway to a gas station. The family lived about 15 minutes away. Told the station attendant they will take care of the car the next day. Gave the family a ride back to their house with all the presents they had to whatever gathering they were going to. I remember the young girl, maybe 10 years old said, “oh, what a clean car, the seats are fuzzy.” I got them back home and the father thanked me. Another save with just a 1125V line 1148X. Best thing was no accident, no paperwork on Christmas Eve.
I had to go to a residence on Christmas morning about 1 am to inform a father that his son had died in a car accident earlier on Christmas eve. I'll never forget how he fell to his knees when told of his loss.
I feel you.
I was giving a motorcyclist cpr one night.
I was at absolutel muscle fatigue by the time fire got there.
As I laid in the grass for a few moments, his mother came up to me "are you the one who tried to save my sons life?".
I stood, crushed by her words. She embraced me, in tears and said "Thank you".
I'll never forget that night.
That's incredible let's take a moment to thank our first responders God bless them. I couldn't have been the only one cutting onions over here
I don’t live in CA but this is powerful. Really shows what police work is really about. Not arresting, shooting, and tazing. Not killing, causing panic, or ruining lives. Not cutting families in half, hurting innocent people, and making life more difficult for others. Police work is about helping others, it’s about protecting the public, it’s about being caring. To be an officer truly is to serve and to protect. God bless all of you at the CHP.
I spent 30 years as a Police Officer in Connecticut. Although I never delivered bad news on Christmas Night there were others just the same and it was not a pretty sight. I know this pain when misery will strikes so deep in vein. Many will criticize and mock what Police Officers do, but take some time and walk a mile in their shoes. A deep Thanks to Bob Welsh and this beautiful poem he wrote. I have sent this link to many Police Officers and friends so "My Christmas Eve" will live on for many years to come. God Bless and Happy Holidays to all. Peace Mike Clancy Groton Town Police "Retired"
Thank you to all the first responders, our service men and women and everyone else for keeping our communities and families safe! There is not enough respect for what you all do! I hope you all have very happy holidays, make it home to your families safe and enjoy all the fruits of your labors keeping us safe and free! Again thank you is not enough but thank you! Keep doing what you do, including making touching videos like this!
I am the son of the former CHP Officer in Charge of the Truckee substation where the CHP version of this beautiful poem was filmed. We moved to Donner Lake before the freeway was built for the Olympics. Many a Christmas eve or Christmas Day, my father was gone for a wreck on old Donner Summit or some other incident that needed attention. We always knew that our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations would evolve around the emergency calls that came into our phone number (initially our crank phone number was "Truckee 2." The local doctor was Truckee 1.) Thank God for all of the wonderful men and women in blue who protect us and show acts of amazing kindness, while being called names and threatened. May God bless all of you during this holiday season. Thank you so much for this poem and video.
CHP was my 2nd home. I miss this Dept. The high standards. the family connection and most of all the dedication it has to the public. Having retired as a dispatcher to becoming an expert examiner (which I miss), you understand all aspects of the dept. From being the one who answers that suicide caller, car accident or Officer needs help. Two brothers, ( one killed in the line of duty) nephew, ex-husband, ex-son-in-law, and many friends. We all worked the holidays, rarely had it off. Our family never had it off at the same time. We accepted it with pride. We would get the report of Santa on his route. Potluck and cookies. Other Depts wishing each other a Merry Christmas. Job well done on this video. Kleenex in one hand, the other shaking hand holding my coffee cup! Brings back so many memories. Being a first responder is a noble profession. Not for attention or accolades but for something bigger than oneself. Yes, kindness will touch a life in ways that you may never know. Your outcome may not be like this video......do it anyway and do it often.....
Once long ago, I was driving to Vermont from NY...I left too late and a blizzard set in...very hard to see...unfamiliar with the roads..and I pulled over..not being able to see even the lane edges or worse even the ditches...put my blinkers on and my friend said to me...what are you doing? I said someone will come to help...she said..who? no one knows we are here, you can't just wait here...I just told her, someone would come..I don't know what I was feeling...maybe in 15 min. or so a NY State trooper pulled up and walked over and asked what was going on...I told him how fearful I was to continue...he asked where we were going, I said Vermont....his voice got louder and he said VERMONT?! you are still so far...I asked him if I could just follow his tail lights to the closest lodging...I followed him for about 5 miles maybe and he made a right into the lodging's driveway. I thanked him and will never forget his kindness. I just knew "someone would come".
Just the poem itself got me goin. I’m proud to have CHP protecting my state, and I’m proud to know a few of those good men. Makes me think of the two SGT’s that I know, SGT Poelking, and SGT Willoughby. Both great men. Well, I think I’ll apply for the academy now.
What about SAHP?
@@AreaFiveOne51 Idc
Wow, what an amazing poem and interpretation. I absolutely loved it
God bless the California Highway Patrol, thank you for your service o7.
When I was around 5 or 6 years old I had a local PD officer approach my mom in a Walgreens and ask her if he could buy me a Hot Wheels car. She said yes, and he told me to pick out whichever one I wanted. Maybe he witnessed something horrible that day and wanted to end the day on a positive note, or maybe I reminded him of a child that was no longer with us. I'll never know the reasoning behind his kind gesture, but he made my day back then and I will never forget it.
Beautiful. An example for all to follow, an act of kindness is not that difficult, so let's do more of those.
If that's not warming everyone's heart, then you should watch it again
to all of the police officers out there, I have faith in you ,and I want to wish you a very merry Christmas and may GOD ABOVE bless you with a happy healthy new year ! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Absolutely beautiful video. My father is a retired trooper (NJSP) and I remember all the Christmas nights when he wasnt home. He always told me it's not about the badge, the gun, or the car, it's about changing someone's life, even if it's the smallest thing. This is what being a cop is all about. The chance to give back anything you can. To all my fellow firefighters, dispatchers, troopers, medics, merry Christmas and happy new year.
It’s so good when you finish the video and whisper to yourself how much that meant to you and struggle not to cry
Thank You for Your Service Brother, God Bless You and Your Family Always
This is so incredibly well made, i actually had to cry. Thank u so much for this moment and these thoughts at the right time of the year. I simply love it. bless u all and thanks for your enormous efforts each day. ❤️
Retired after 30 years. Many Christmas and Christmas Eves (And most New Years Eves) I was on duty. Sadly the tragic sights will always be with me and all of first responders who served. God Bless every one of you and never let the few who call us racists and many other bad names cause you grief. We know what we did was good and honorable!
Why did this beautiful video get recommended to me so late after Christmas. God, I'm in tears with the beauty of the story telling. Hopefully one day I'll have the qualifications and the courage to put my name in for tribal police and serve my people on our reserves. God bless the brave men and women of law enforcement.
I salute this hero, and all of the other fine people who wear a badge, or a white coat, very moving story, very moving.
OH MY GOSH A GREAT PIECE (TEARS) , THIS IS THE SIDE OF THE JOB PEOPLE RARELY SEE, I CAN RELATE 100%, RETIRED OFFICER IN IOWA......
This get me every time I watch it. Had the pleasure of hearing it done Mr Welch himself and this video is a beautiful rendition of it.
Well done CHP from a fellow Trooper.
God save our law enforcement officers.
