As Memorial Day rolls around, I am reminded of a story that I heard. Though the exactness of it I cannot confirm, I am assured its basis is quite factual, and it’s message definitely deserves to be retold. The story is of a man, Andrew, who was known all his life for selfless sacrifice and good works. He always stood in defense of the defenseless, and toiled without tiring, standing up for the downtrodden and underprivileged. As he grew old, and people tried to honor him for his well-lived life of service, he was reluctant to accept the praise and attention that his community desired to heap upon him. It was then, for the first time, that he told a story that had burned deep in his heart and was hard for him to relate. Andrew was a young man, thirteen years old and living in Austria, when the Germans invaded. The Austrians, brave and proud, decided to fight back. In the town where Andrew lived, the men and teenage boys organized and destroyed a power plant that the Germans relied on to continue their war effort. The men and boys all knew this would cause great hardship on themselves as well, for they also relied on the power from the plant. But the thing they had not counted on was the swift and severe retribution that would come from the Nazi invaders.

The Hughes County District Attorney’s Office and local law enforcement in Hughes County have demonstrated significant progress and improvement in their operations from 2022 to 2023. District Attorney Erik Johnson took office in January of 2023, and since that time, the Hughes County District Attorney’s office has seen a substantial rise in the number of cases filed in 2023 compared to the previous year. This increase reflects the commitment of the office and law enforcement to uphold justice, ensure public safety, and hold offenders accountable for their actions.
