(KNZA)--Receipt of a Challenge coin, recognizing the service of a late Brown County Deputy, has been recognized by President Donald Trump.
The Brown County Sheriff's Office, last week, received the letter of gratitude which said that Deputy Todd Widman, who died in the line of duty on March 1, 2000, "never wavered in his mission to protect and serve," with the letter adding that Widman's "legacy of selfless service will be an enduring reminder of his dedication to the citizens of Kansas and his pride in our Nation."
The letter from President Trump tells Sheriff John Merchant "you have certainly carried on Deputy Widman's indelible legacy through your outstanding service as the Brown County Sheriff."
The letter followed the sending of a Deputy Widman Challenge Coin to the Whitehouse.
