Read it again. I said the bullet fragmented. I did not say it “destroyed itself in flight,” nor did I specify when the fragmentation occurred. You invented that claim because it is easier to mock than explain why fragments of unknown mass, velocity, and trajectory “had to” exit.

Day 15
How did you become friends with George Brett?
The timing of this question feels especially fitting since today is George’s birthday. Happy Birthday, George!
Back in 2018, I was living out a dream by working as a police officer in the Royals dugout. Before the game started, George’s son, Jackson, came down behind the dugout to say hello to my friend Sergeant Tommy Woods, who had graciously let me work alongside him that night. Tommy introduced us and mentioned that I had just been diagnosed with ALS.
Not long after, I jokingly told Jackson, “Tell your dad to come down here. I want to meet him.” Normally, I would never say something like that. But I knew how deeply ALS mattered to George. It’s even referenced on the inscription of his statue beyond the right field wall.
For more than 40 years, George has been committed to fighting ALS after losing his close friend Keith Worthington to the disease. He made Keith a promise that he would stay in the fight until there’s a cure.
A little while later, Jackson returned and said, “George is down there and wants to meet you.” Instantly, I was nervous. What do you even say to your childhood hero?
George greeted me with a hug and handed me a baseball he had signed. He asked how I was doing and made sure I had the support I needed. Before we finished talking, he asked what he could do for me. I remember laughing and saying, “Honestly, this is already pretty amazing.” But then I added, “Throwing out the first pitch with you would be awesome.”
George smiled and said, “Consider it done.”
Less than a month later, it happened.
Before we parted ways that night, George also promised me something else — that he would stand beside me throughout my battle with ALS. Over the years, he has kept that promise in every way possible.
A lot of people know George Brett as a Hall of Fame baseball player. I know him as a loyal friend, a man of his word, and someone who quietly shows up for people when they need it most. His friendship has been one of the greatest blessings of my ALS journey, and I will never stop being grateful for the kindness he’s shown me and so many others fighting this disease.

“You loved witnessing excellence.
It's why you loved sports so much. You loved watching the best of the best perform at the level of greatness God intended for them.
When we first started dating, we went to the basketball court to shoot around. I loved seeing you in that element because time was irrelevant. It was just us, the sound of sneakers squeaking and jump shots. We bonded over how Jordan was the GOAT and you told me about your basketball days in high school and I told you about my basketball days in college. Just two athletes escaping the demands of the world for a minute.
I remember seeing on your wrist a red bracelet. You never took it off, it said "work harder, be better." And everyday you did just that. Years later, one day after an event on campus a student asked you about your bracelet, and you gave it to them. I have no idea who that student was or where they are today, but l have no doubt they're working harder and being better, because you set the tone.
This is one of the last photos taken of you before you were murdered. I look at it and can't help but see excellence. You're in your element. You're in athlete mode. Training for this exact moment, mind, body, and soul. To me, this is your "Jordan" photo. Permanently etched in time, held in my heart, as I admire your greatness. Forever.
I pray you've had the most amazing week in Heaven @charliekirk11 I love you.”
