Stacy Case had been with the Columbia
Police Department a little over four years, but had a previous 15-year career
in the U.S. Army as a military police officer, where she was a veteran of the
Iraq War. She received several awards
while serving her country, including the Iraq Campaign Medal with two campaign
stars, the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism
Expeditionary Award, the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Achievement Medal,
Meritorious Unit Commendation, and a Good Conduct Award. She died in a car collision answering the call
of duty.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
