Special appreciation to Sue Anolick of South Jersey Moms Deman Action for inviting me to be one of the presenters at the Kick-Off Rally for the 8th annual National Gun Violence AwarenessDay. The event was held on a beautiful later spring/early summer evening in the Norcross-McLaughlin Memorial Dell, named after Investigator John McLaughlin and Officer John Norcross killed delivering a warrant. It was a special evening, one of many being held across the country. We all look forward to the day these events are no longer necessary.
