In a perfect world, we could all look forward to the long week-end that lies before us, and enjoy the fine flavor of ribs, steaks, burgers and hot dogs on a grill as we kick back to celebrate the 4th of July.

Like most people across America , 31 year-old Tampa Police Officer Dave Curtis looked forward to the holiday with his wife, Kelly, and their 4 sons, Austin, 9, Sean, 6, Tyler, 5, and Hunter, 8 months.

His co-worker, Jeffrey A. Kocab (also 31) was looking forward to an additional celebration this week-end: His wife Sara, 9 months pregnant, was expecting to give birth to their first child any day now.

As we prepare to bury two young men in the prime of their lives, I urge you all to remember: We reap what we sow. Translation: The America we get is the one we nurture. We've got a lot of work ahead of us. A LOT.

I suspect the 'suspect' will wind up looking something like a player piano roll....
