My son is 10 years old, and loves police officers and firemen. When we first got to the restaurant that we were eating at, there were two police officers finishing up their lunch and Jonathan asked if he could say hi to them and shake their hands. My husband took him over to say hi and the officers talked with Jonathan for a moment or two before we went to our table. As the officers left, one of the officers came to our table and asked how long we would be at the restaurant. He returned about twenty minutes later with a badge for my son along with a heavy metal looking badge that my son could keep in his pocket. This made Jonathan’s day! In talking with the police officer we found out that he had driven all the way back to the police station to get these things for Jonathan and made a special trip to bring it back to him! Talk about going above and beyond! We thanked the police officer for his thoughtfulness and kindness and he said getting to do that for Jonathan made his day. He definitely made a difference today in the life of one little boy, but I have a feeling he is the type of person that makes a difference everyday. Thank you Lieutenant J.D. Turner Jr, you are definitely one of Glynn County’s Finest!!
