“If you think it would be helpful to his spirit and recovery, I would like to visit him at the hospital. No media, I am simply want to lift his spirits.” After checking with the officer and his family, then Vice-President Biden and I visited the officer and his family.

The visit took place during a campaign, yet not a peep of the visit went public. The officer, his family, & hospital staff were all lifted by the visit.

Officer Taylor Roccaforte just text these two photos and asked me to share them.
