HEROES

Face of Defense: Deputy Follows in Coworkers’ Footsteps

New Marine Pfc. Brett Lockhart Lockhart was a deputy sheriff at the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, in Titusville, Fla., where 15 of them are former Marines.

"I wanted to be able to fight both battles," Lockhart said. "I've already fought the local battle, but after 9-11, if anything else happens, I want to be there."
During his graduation from recruit training, Lockhart received a special visit from eight of his former coworkers, welcoming him to the brotherhood. Sgt. Frank T. Hickman, a deputy sheriff with the department said:
"Being a Marine is something that's always inside of you. It's good to see him join the family. We are all very proud of Brett down at the station, we want him to know he'll have a job waiting for him whenever he gets back."
[part of this country is at war. with the enemy, I mean.]
