Statement from the Grit Foundation on the loss of Sgt. Ramirez & Deputy Lindsay

Friends,

In the blink of an eye, our community has been shaken to it's core. In the face of this tragedy, the community has rallied and shown in force what small town America is all about. In the face of a coward and his cowardly act, Gilchrist County and our surrounding communities have come together to show love and gratitude for the men and women who serve their communities everyday. The two heroes we lost will forever have a place in our hearts and in our hometown. Let us remember their actions, their legacy and the good they did here at home. Rest in peace gentlemen.
