I was excited to hear my long time friend was given this honor. It is sad though that in the 5 years since I moved from Bristol little has changed in the public discourse. The same cowards take to the paper to take cheap shots at others. Like other social media the cowards hide behind anonymity to say say things they would never say to your face. I have known David for almost 20 years, he is a good man who has always cared for Bristol and his neighbors. If his long history of service to Bristol does not warrant this honor then frankly who does? I think David would be the first to tell you he is not perfect but then again who is. I know in my life David has stood by me even when it was not easy or popular. I have not been to a Bristol 4th of July in many years but my son and I will travel back to Bristol to see David march and we will cheer loudly to drown out the cowards. Congratulations David and thanks to the committee for this choice.
