There really is nothing like the Thin Blue Line. As a retired police officer it was my distinct honor to interview Laura about the loss of her brother, Deputy Sheriff Kevin Blount, when his helicopter made an emergency landing on a hilly area. When the Eurocopter-EC120 landed, the tail end broke off, causing the fuselage of the helicopter to roll down a hill.

Kevin was 29 years old and had served as a deputy sheriff for 7 years.

What is the Thin Blue Line? thinbluelinefoundation.org definition is:

The Thin Blue Line represents the men and women of law enforcement that stand between good and evil, order and chaos. The black stripes above the blue line represent the public and the bottom black stripes represent the criminal. 

It was so eye opening for me to get this perspective. That of a surviving family member of a fallen officer.

Laura describes getting the news that Kevin had been in an accident, the aftermath of the news, and how it inspired her to serve others who experience trauma.
