The story came to the department via email from the Virginia State Police requesting agencies to read Nathan’s story and send him a Christmas card.

Agencies from Massachusetts and New Hampshire wanted to do more for this youngster so police officers organized and came up with a plan to hand deliver the Christmas cards directly to him. Nearly 300 Officers from 75 agencies are making the trip to Virginia. It is both exciting and humbling to have the opportunity to meet Nathan and make his Christmas wish come true.
