GRAND RAPIDS, MI — A Grand Rapids police officer granted a birthday wish for a 9-year-old that he will never forget.
The chance meeting between the police officer and boy from Grand Rapids’ Southeast Side last week started with Thomas Daniel missing his bus to school and finished the next day with a special party put on by police officers.
Daniel now calls Grand Rapids police officer Austin Lynema a hero and credits him for a memorable birthday.
