5 Oct, Post 1814 PC Bruce Dull was the Honored speaker at the Anne Arundel Co. Military Appreciation Day. His speech drew the loudest response and laughter of all the speakers. After the ceremony, Bruce was presented an AACo Police Challenge Coin from the Chief of AA Co PD as well as a second coin from the County. There was a bit of Navy-v-Marine sparing between the Chief and Petty Officer Dull. The Chief admitted Navy won but Bruce still let Harriett drive till they were out of the county.
