Yesterday, we were honored to join the hearing held by Commissioner Tara Stamps and the Cook County Board focusing on concussions and CTE. Brain injuries can lead to violent behavior, suicidal ideations, and devastating brain disorders, including Alzheimer's and ALS.

Although they are commonly attributed to sports injuries, impacts from concussions impact Military, law enforcement, and domestic violence survivors.

Commissioner Deer was a gentleman who led with integrity, his faith, and empathy for all. Even if you just said hello to him passing in a hallway, he could make your entire day with his smile and kindness. He loved sharing updates about his beautiful family.

As Dr. Deer, he dedicated his life to helping those in the Cook County Jail, both the detainees and the correctional officers. He was loved by all. His life and loss had had a profound impact, and so many people continue the work who were inspired and mentored by Dr. Deer.

The news today of the tragic loss of his wife and son is truly devastating. We are sending all of our love to their family, friends and community.

"Symptoms of TBI can be subtle at first but often linger for years, or even a lifetime, ranging from persistent headaches, fatigue, dizziness and vertigo, to more severe cognitive effects like memory loss, impaired decision-making and difficulty concentrating.

Veterans with TBIs are also nearly twice as likely to die by su***de compared to veterans without a diagnosed brain injury, according to data from the Department of Veterans Affairs."

TBI's (concussions, head injuries) impact Veterans, Law Enforcement, and Domestic Violence Victims. For more information, please visit: https://concussionandcte.org/

Of 200 U.S. troops wounded so far, about 140 are TBI-related, the official said.

This is a sober reminder of the sacrifice of first responders and their families. Our hearts are with the Altman family.

The funeral for Chicago firefighter Michael Altman, who died from injuries while fighting a blaze at a Rogers Park building, was postponed after his widow went into labor.

Proud to support the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation and the 19th Ward at their "Get Behind the Vest" pancake breakfast. Due to the generosity of the community, over the past 12 years this event has raised close to a million dollars for bullet-proof vests for the Chicago Police Department members.

Just a few weeks prior, a young officer was shot in the 22nd District on just his sixth day on the job. His vest saved his life.

Today, we celebrate the life of and honor his legacy.

In the clip below, PBS reports that Dr. King was to give a speech- and while he was one of the greatest public speakers in history - he had become nervous at the microphone. The Chicago congregation, led by the legend, Mahalia Jackson, knew just what to do.

Dr. King's humanity also reminds us of his sacrifice - and the continued fight for equality for all.
