We thank you for your service and for your sacrifices. We thank you for your lives. We Salute you all. May you all rest in Paradise. from your family, the founders of True Blue Warriors The 26-year-old female driver of the car that hit MTA Ofc. Choi remained at the scene. Police determined there was no criminality involved, and was not charged. We disagree with this decision because the closed gates were down and flashing and his vehicle also had lights flashing. The 78 year old female driver of the vehicle involved with Ofc. Fosters death was given a citation of failure to yield turning left at an intersection. A civilian was also killed during the storms in California at the same time as our True Blue and our thoughts and prayers are with their family as well. We will update this as well with a name once released.
