    We got some hard news tonight.. that my Uncle may not make it to the morning.. our family needs lots of prayers and support this evening..

    He is a retired Police Officer, and due to a glitch in the system the reduced his retirement pay by 75%.. an now he is fighting for his life battling Lung Cancer, The Police Department is refusing to adjust his pay back to the correct amount until a hearing is held scheduled for March 2011.. he will be lucky to make it to Sept. So please, add his page and spread the word we need to put pressure on the Metro PD and get them to give his family back the benefits he is owed to help in these tough times.
    so if you can please please.. check out these two links and spread the word through any media outlets you can think of about Officer Ludwig ...

    and
    please visit the Officer Ludwig Page, "Like" the page and read about my uncle, also if you have the time please make an effort to spread the word about him. We need to make his situation National News.

    It is soo fucked up that the department he work for, for soo long is trying to screw him over. not to mention it is bc of him, his son, brother in law and 3 nephews all became cops.

    Thanks all.. Today my uncles story was mentioned on a local DC radio station.. we are hoping it will spread to local and national news outlets.. and once word spreads it will hopefully pressure Metro into providing my Aunt with the back pay my uncle was owed to help cover the medical benefits

    Went to the viewing today.. it was really hard, but it was nice to get our family together..

    Although I am very happy that my little man got to meet and see his Great Uncle before things got really bad..
    Uncle Paul, his Wife Aunt Linda and my little man

    he was #2 of 11 kids.. it sucks it took something liek this to get our big family together.
