Commendations
This is something I've always hid away on a shelf till just here resently. I took photos of them and am posting them on my site after 40 years. I received many commendations over my years spent on the streets of Utica, but I only have 2 on paper like these two.
My other commendations came in the form of days off given to me by my Captain Bill Williams. He knew submitting the good work we did for a Commendation to be issued on paper would often be fruitless due to the politics in those days, so he made executive decisions and rewarded good work service by giving us the day off.
Which one would you like to have ? Having both is sort of good but sort of sad. The most notable Day Off Commendation was arresting a burgular taken into custody red handed inside the building and learning thereafter that he had committed murder just a couple of hours before the burgulary. Not the one seen here.
