Have you ever been driving and then suddenly encounter something out of the ordinary that just makes you stop in your tracks? Maybe you saw a deer in the road, a funny sign on the highway, or a person looking strange. Well, that’s what happened when the Hammetts were driving down the road on a rainy day in Greenbelt, Maryland. As the couple was driving through the unfavorable rainy conditions they noticed a police woman standing in the middle of the road. What made this sight so unusual was that the police officer was getting soaking wet in the rain, and as far as they could tell there were no emergencies in the area that she would have to be directing traffic away from.
So what was she doing there? As the couple stopped their car and got closer they realized just who (and what) this officer was protecting. Once the Hammetts understood the situation they decided they couldn’t just leave this brave officer out in the rain, they had to help too. With a little bit of teamwork and some quick thinking, these kind hearted people helped to turn a difficult situation into a happy ending for everyone involved.

This Maryland city is located in Prince George County, close to Washington D.C. In fact, many of its residents are commuters to the nation’s capital, and it is also close to the University of Maryland and the Goddard Space Flight Center of NASA. The city boasts a population of around 23,000 residents. It was originally created by the U.S. government as one of their planned “green” cities in the 1930s with the hope that it could add some much needed housing for the Washington D.C. area that was also affordable. Because of its proximity to the capital, and the great transportation options nearby, it’s become a very desirable community to live in.
