Many members of the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office including myself will be there. We have posted flyers everywhere and e-mailed the concert flyer to hundreds of members. A Deputy I work with is married to the twin of one of the fallen officers. As a twin myself I know It’s very heartbreaking to loose a twin. It would be like loosing not just one, but two. This concert benefit is an amazing gesture and it renews my faith in the human race. Thank you all so much!
