Thank you for your generosity.

I would like to thank the gentleman who so graciously paid for two Manatee County Sheriff's Deputies dinner at Joey D's last week. Your thoughtful generosity was unexpected.

So often these days the hard work and stress these deputies endure are taken for granted. It takes a special type of person to handle the job, an often thankless job at that.

You can be assured these two partners are out on the streets working hard to keep you and your loved ones safe.

So, I just wanted to say "Thank you" from the wife of one of the deputies, his partner for life.
