“When my good friend Sunny shared his vision and honored me with the invitation to chair Operation Peace of Mind’s crime fighting initiative in Dallas on September 12, 2002, I was highly impressed with the organization’s commitment to helping American communities become better protected from crime. Sunny has been a member of the city of Lewisville’s Community Development Block Grant Advisory Committee for many years and is currently the chairman. The committee contributed immensely toward the city being selected as one of the 100 best cities to live in the United States in 2006."
