Combes Badge of Honor

About the Book

“Combes Badge of Honor” is a true story of chronicle moments of my experience over a period of time, paying special attention to my work as a peace officer and an instance when, “I risked my profession for a justifiable cause.” It is a story of a lone survivor that seeks to characterize a “political hierarchy” and “to bring light to a horrible dishonor committed against what we so dearly love, our freedom.” As I consider some of the people and events seemingly influencing my perspective, I also highlight qualities relating to loyalty and belief in various forms.

About the Author

Retired Chief Art Flores: I come from a family’s heritage of peace officers; we all wear our badges empathically to perform in an ultimate fashion, never cowering nor abandoning our oath. I was born on March 14 of 1949 and raised in the small City of San Benito, Texas, located about 25 miles north of the Texas – Mexico border. San Benito, Freddy Fender’s hometown, is also known for its beautiful Resaca, a body of water that runs down the center of the city with a distinct, unique flavor of landscape scenery. You drink its water and you’ll always come back.
