“I would like to extend my gratitude to United States Senator Senator Ron Johnson for the Bill of the Halt Act (origin author of the SOFA Act) that was signed into law by the President this past July at a White House event we had the privilege of all attending. This is a shadow box of the Bill with a handwritten note from the Senator and the President’s pen used to sign this legislation into law. Dr. Timothy Westlake and I both received this from the Senator in recognition of our tireless efforts over the past decade to advocate for this legislation regarding Fentanyl. Truly touched by his thoughtfulness with this keepsake gift! Saving Others for YOU Archie, and all the Others that lost their life too soon, due to fentanyl. This has all come full circle, and I am beyond grateful.”
