          I have said that I would not make a pink pen unless it was for Emily Keyes, well I broke a rule. This pen will go with all the 58 Pens that was made for Law Enforcement. The Pen was made from Pink Ivory

               Sargent T. Keeton’s pen. This pen was made in honor of him, all pens have a fallen officer in memory of them.

                   Sargent Keeton was the one who inspired me to start making pens for Law Enforcement. There is a good story behind this, I will always remember this Trooper, and what a nice guy!

This is so sad!

The “Top Gun Police Motor Officers’ Competition” began in the late 1980s as the brainchild of several of our Charter Members. It became a reality in the desire to create an event that would bring together motor officers from as many different departments as possible in an atmosphere of friendship and skills demonstration that could also serve as an “in service training” at a time when there wasn’t much of that available. Originally done as a single day event, we are now needing three full days, including a day for setup of the courses, a day for the officers to walk through and practice and a day for the competition itself.

The competition is always held on the first Sunday in June. Over the years we’ve seen individual officers as well as complete teams from all over the US as well as Canada come into the Denver for the event and have seen this annual event grow to what we’d like to think is one of the premier events of its type in the country. Our course of competition varies from event to event and is never the same in consecutive years. There are numerous types of motorcycles being utilized in police work today. The courses are carefully designed to create identical skill requirements for each class of machine while taking into consideration the physical capabilities of each make or model.

The event and its many vendors typically draws several hundred spectators, both motorcycle enthusiasts and many who just like to watch and support their favorite officers. While the event is free and open to the public, donations and entry fees for “Top Gun” has become a major fund raiser for our designated charities such as Colorado Special Olympics, the Colorado State Patrol Youth Academy, the Colorado Boys Ranch and others.

Come to the Denver area and enjoy the event’s atmosphere, competition, skills improvement and just plain fun.

            In Memory of G. ” Shorty” Vetter.

                      I’m going to visit Shorty’s Grave site this morning. Shorty was also a Blue Knight, he loved Top Gun www.topguncops.com    and that’s right around the corner. A long time member of Colorado Chapter 1 Blue Knights.

                      Shorty rode a Honda Gold Wing Trike, man he had a cool bike. He told me one time I could ride it in the Parking lot C.S.P. I don’t think he has ever offered that to anyone! I declined it because I did not want my leg brace to scratch it, but the offer was nice! I now have some of his ride pins on my Blue Knights Vest, I will always honor him and never forget him.

                      The Pen I made for him was #10 and there are 47 made to this day! In Honor of him, all pens have a fallen officer in memory of them.

As a Blue Knight I pledge to act with honor and pride to promote motorcycling and motorcycle safety by being an example of the safe use, operation and enjoyment of motorcycles.

 I will work at all times to improve the relationship between the motorcycling law enforcement community and the general public.

The fraternal spirit will always guide me in relating to other Blue Knights.
