RABBI GLUCK remarks @ CSE, FHP director colonel Brierton retirement at FL state Capitol

thank you very much colonel bryanton for the wonderful dedication devotion and everything else that you have shown our community going back in history the first meeting that we had with the police commissioner the city of new york was 1966 and they still have it down on their books that's when we discuss when we discuss what the passover holiday means and then six months later with the rosh hashanah yom kippur holidays mean and from that time on we have an annual two annual meetings with all chiefs of the department and uh anybody who makes decisions community fairs etc etc one thing i was asked to say what kasich lemons does out of the box we know what we do in the box we buried over 300 people that had no money and we did not not even getting money for not for the burial not for the grave opening and not for the shrouds and not for the boxing nothing but that is one one of the things that we're very proud of we're not looking forward to it but there are a lot of people that are coming now from europe etc and they have absolutely nothing and when they piss it's our duty to serve them at the best that we could we once had a story rabbi orrington and orfman and chaplain rosenberg had asked me to repeat this story i was once in the state department in washington by number three to that time secretary of state clinton and i got a call and i usually try not to take calls when i'm in such public meetings but somehow i took it and i heard yelling on the phone and i started answering not in rabbinical tones it says who that etc etc and his assistants the deputy secretary of state says to me rabbi what happened i said two police officers got killed in new york city and one of them's from jamaica his mother went into the american embassy in jamaica to get a visa to come to our son's funeral and they turned it down she says you're upset give me the phone she gets the details picks up the phone calls up jamaica give me the ambassador yes the next flight that comes to new york i don't care if you have to hold it on the runway that flight will have this woman on board and if not you'll be on the next plane as an ex-ambassador goodbye and hung up well i heard all the embassy cars went near her where she lived because they had her address but they didn't actually got home and they found him in the street put him in an embassy car drove her on the runway to a waiting plane stamped her passport and let it go i mean these are the type of things that we get involved that's not specifically on on on the books for for us to do it's on the books for us to do for the lord we have many uh cases unfortunately but when you get someone with such an understanding like the colonel i'm not saying it gets easy to do these things but at least you feel a sense of accomplishment when you did it because you know you have help from the inside i think we're appointing you our ambassador colonel and basically what we're praying for is your devotion your attitude your rapport your entire personality the way you work with people regardless of race religion color creed as was said before let me repeat it you're a mensch i mentioned translation is a decent human being from the top decency and we'd like to ask you to be an example to all police agencies in the united states when they need some guidance and teach them what the job is thank you and and have a wonderful retirement enjoy it and i don't think your type of guy is going to sit down with smoking cigars and take it easy but whatever you do best of luck god should bless you you
