CopsAlive.com joins the NRA’ Life of Duty Channel in saluting America’s veterans. We recognize that many of our nation’s peace officers are military veterans and to all of you we say “thank you for your service”. This trailer, which is a preview of this months Patriot Profile could also represent those in law enforcement if you didn’t know that he was talking about the military.
This trailer entitled “To be an American” is a preview to this month’s Patriot Profile Feature “Broken & Undone” but it also serves as a tribute to Veterans Day. This piece focuses on… brothers Tom and Scot Spooner – one who retired, and one who served our country for more than 17 years in U.S. Army Special Forces and Special Operations Capacities. They speak about how that experience has made them understand what it means “to be an American”.
When it comes out later this month this full feature will be Life of Duty’s first documentary that addresses PTSD.They know that this is a very delicate subject and take great pride in handling it in a very honorable and respectful way
NRA Life of Duty Patriot Profiles – Broken & Undone: “To be an American”
“Broken and Undone should move anyone who watches it to understand that we are not equipping our warriors with the most important tool of all… The knowledge that what they do is moral, honorable, ethical, just and pure. It is not what they see that unravels the heart… It is the struggle to justify that what they have done is just and unequivocally moral.”
– NRA LOD Executive Producer, Rick Stewart

The concept of “True Blue Valor™” is where one law enforcement officer has to muster the courage to confront a peer who is slipping both professionally and personally and endangering themselves, their peers and the public. It takes a system of organizational support and professional leadership to support and foster the concept of courage and intervention. We will train your trainers to deliver this program to your agency.
