MP resident

Since the age of 15 , I have served the public, offering thousands of hours in the volunteer fire and rescue service and as a career police officer serving the citizens. I will continue those endeavors and it’s by the grace of God that I will be able to do so.

As I have said previously, unlike some, I accept full repsonsibility for my lack of judgement and poor decision making that evening. I choose not to ponder on th epast, for what is done is done. I do however, thrive towards the future and look forward to serving again and being a public servant.

Don’t worry, I will still continue to volunteer, as I am doing now. I wish you well in your future endeavors and continue to be an advocate for your community and beliefs! God Bless!!

As one who strongly believes in the power of redemption, let me be the first to wish you well in the next phase of your life where you will undoubtedly work to make this world a better place.

The lessons of the past can be hard, but offer us the wisdom and determination to not only learn from them, but help others better navigate the difficult path from sin to redemption. I look forward to you applying these lessons to help serve your fellow man, and most importantly, to help a troubled community pick itself up and chart a new course.

The truth is, I most certainly made a terrible mistake and displayed a very poor lack of judgement. Since day one, because of that, I prepared my self to accept the consequences of my own choosing. I voluntarily resigned as the police captain of the Manassas Park Police to spare the process and ridicule for my own actions on the night in question against me and the agency in which I so diligently served. Most importantly however, I feel I let down the true citizens of Manassas Park, they were the true motivation for me in ensuring that the highest caliber of police service was rendered.

At the age of 16, I joined the Manassas Park Volunteer Fire Department. I cannot even begin to describe the feeling I received when I was able to ride out on that truck, even as a rookie, and was able to render assistance to those in need. It just fueled my passion and desire to help my fellow citizen.

Many do not know that my desire for public service came shortly after my 5 th birthday…you see, when I was 4 years old, I was struck by a speeding motorist, right before my mother’s eyes. Technically, I was pronounced dead but our heavenly Father had didfferent plans.

I was struck by a speeding SUV on St. Germain Dr in Centreveille, where my parents lived at the time. My mother was a school bus driver for Fairfax County, today she is a Training Coordinator for the same county.

I was hit at approximately 45 mph, was driven 40 feet and then when the vehicle came to a stop, I was thrown an additional 98 feet on my bare back across the hot August pavement.

As the medics arrived, they observed multiple burns across the back, legs, arms and chest; along with a cranial bleed, where they could actually see the insides of my brain matter protruding through the rear of my skull.

I was transported to Fairfax Hospital immediately in “code blue” which meant death was emminent. While enroute, my mother was in the back of the ambulance, a born again Christian. She states, suddenly a force came over her saying, “lay hands on the sick and they shall be healed”. Mom, being recently saved and all was reluctant but followed her heart and began praying. As she did, a large goose egg knot had swollen from the top of my head and again a voice stated, “lay hands on the sick and they shall be healed!” “John” a medic on the ambulance said to her, “go ahead mom, pray, we are all born again christians!” Mom did not care at this point what anyone thought becuase her belief in the Lord Jesus and knowing he was her personal savior was all she needed. Sure enough, the moment that happened there was a paramedic in the back of the ambulance whose name was “John” and he said to her, “Mrs. Mosher, keep dooing what you are doing. All of us in this ambulance are born again Christians, you keep praying mom!

As I arrived at Fairfax Hopsital in “code blue”, meaning death is emminent, my parents filtered into the emergency waiting room. Now beforehand, a prayer request was sent through church to “pray for the little boy who was hit by the car”. Upon arrival, my parents encountered “numerous” people who to this day do not know who they were. Later, through “toungues” the Lord reveleaed they were angels. One responded, “we are here to pray for the little boy who was hit by the car, and their will be no knife taken to this child!”
I had been diagnosed with “mulitple fractures, contusions, and bleeds from head to toe” and I was to immedaitely undergo surgery.

I look forward to meeting Dr. Senneca, Chairman of surgery and seeing if he remembers saving my life!! Have a blessed day!

My parents were standing by in a nearby waitign room, with numerous people whom they’ve never met along with some family. Once the word was relayed that suergery would be taking place shortly, a gentlemen from the back cried out in tears and spoke in “tongues” and the translation was, “There will be no knife taken to this child.”

Moments later, the waiting room door burst open to the noise of, “Mr. and Mrs. Mosher, you need to come quick, Dr. Senneca needs to see you.” Mom and Dad thought the worse.

Upon arrival, Dr. Senneca stated that is was procedure to run additional x-rays to see the exact site of the injuries but upon doing so, all the x-rays came back negative…meaning, there were no signs of mulitple fractures, there were no signs of head injury and that he thought I would be able to walk out at the end of the week.

That moment, both mom and dad fell to their knees, thanking God for such awesome intervention. I did not undergo surgery and and all questions were layed to rest.

I have been blessed in more way than I think any human could imagine. I made a mistake and I accept responsibility, however, the great work that has been completed thus far in the name of our Father cannot go unrecognized.

I do not look for special treatment and I know in my heart the Commonwealth feels the same.

These men and women out here who risk their lives everyday, without any expectation of anything in return are to be commended each and every day. THe bible says that “their is no greater love than that of one who is willing to sacrifice his own life!”

All I can ask is that EVERYONE remember that and truly recognize what these men and women are out here to do for you!!!

THe men and woman of Law Enforcement are often forgotten, underpaid or rather just assumed thay they will always be there.

Remeber, every single one of them, from the highest to the peon, are someone’s daughter, son, cousin, mother, father, wife, husband….I mean the list could go on.

In closing, just remember, “Romans 8:28And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”

I have seen it ruin lives and destroy families.

I’ve also seen people ignore the problem until it’s too late.

Unless the person who has an alcohol problem wants to change, there is nothing anyone can do to help.

Drink up and don’t forget your meetings don’t fall off the wagon you might steal a police car.
