The St. Joseph Police Department is proud to recognize Captain Colton Steadman for stepping up to help a local citizen in need.

We also want to thank the David Crockett VFW Post 1618 for their kindness and service. When people come together to help take care of a neighbor, it says a lot about the kind of community St. Joseph is.

We are grateful for Captain Steadman’s willingness to jump in and help, and we appreciate the VFW for their part in making a difference.

Earlier this week, the David Crockett VFW Post 1618 was contacted about an older Navy veteran named Sue who needed help cutting her grass.

Today, one of our members stepped up and took care of it. While the work was being done, Captain Colton Steadman of the St. Joseph Police Department, also an Army veteran, stopped by and jumped in to help by weed eating.

After finishing the job, we had the honor of learning more about Sue’s service. She is a Navy veteran who served from 1969 to 1976 and worked as a Military Police Officer in Quantico, Virginia.

This is what it’s all about, veterans and community coming together to take care of one another.

A big thank you to the Saint Joseph Police Dept, and especially Captain Colton Steadman, for stepping in and helping. Your support does not go unnoticed.
