A Police Chief's Sacrifice [VIDEO]

Thousands of officers honored Greenland's Mike Maloney,

A special kind of heroism is required to willingly run into that danger in order to protect others, which is why Hampton Police Detective Alex Reno was one of thousands of police officers who wanted Thursday to pay tribute to a man who lived every day trying to assist and protect others.

What do you think was the most emotional part of the service? I thought it was the officers' physical reactions and seeing thousands of police officers with the same look of sadness and loss.   more ›

A local veteran shares his thoughts on Veterans Day and why he enlisted.

In honor of Veterans Day and the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, we set out to talk with a local Middle East veteran about his service, the perception of veterans today, and how that perception shapes morale on deployments. Alex Reno, a patrolman with the Hampton Police Department and the Hampton Academy resource officer, served in Qatar as part of the Air Force, and he said he enlisted largely because of his family's military history as well as the events on 9/11. In the above video, Reno talks about the perception of veterans today compared other other military eras like Vietnam, what Veterans Day means to him, and why he feels the need to and think that others should thank local veterans.
