Friend --    

As we approach the 4th anniversary of the attack on the United States Capitol and our Democracy, we must take a moment to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who stood in harm’s way to defend our nation that day. The bravery of the Capitol Hill Police and the DC Metropolitan Police is something we must never forget. At Country First, we remain forever indebted to their service.

While some, like Donald Trump, claim to “Back the Blue,” their actions tell a different story—pledging to pardon rioters who attacked Police Officers, assaulted Police Officers and used weapons like bear spray and tasers against Police Officers, is not supportive of them, pardoning rioters dishonors them.  

At Country First, we don’t just talk about honoring our law enforcement heroes—we act. That’s why we’re organizing a Thank You Letter Drive to express our deepest gratitude to the Capitol Hill Police and the DC Metropolitan Police. 

Here’s how you can join us in saying thank you:

• Email your letter to us at [email protected]
• Mail your handwritten note to:
  Country First
  PO Box 2385
  Ottawa, IL 61350

Your message can be long or short—it’s the sentiment that matters. Whether it’s a heartfelt letter or a simple “Thank You,” your words will show these officers that their sacrifices have not been forgotten.

By participating, you’re doing more than expressing gratitude. You’re:

• Showing Capitol Police and DC Metro Police that you care.
• Standing firmly against the idea that attacking law enforcement is acceptable.
• Demonstrating that truth matters.
• Rejecting the pardoning of rioters found guilty in a court of law.

At Country First, we believe in true support for our law enforcement heroes—not just in words, but in action. Let’s step up and show these brave officers what it really means to “Back the Blue.”

Together, we can honor their service and remind them that we stand with them—always.
