Deputy Sam Brownlee was killed in a shootout five years ago, but the emotions are still like it was yesterday for Officer Brownlee's son Tanner. All he has left of his dad is a cruiser up for acution and it's all he wants. WARNING tissues...

The fact that he will now be able to drive the same car his dad did will never replace him, but it will in some way bring peace to his heart in a way only someone who has lost a person like a parent can understand. It's a way to feel closer to the one person Tanner needed around more than anyone. And bless the heart of that stranger who did something so compassionate and selfless.
