For the 25th consecutive year, the Dale City Knights of Columbus have presented teddy bears — 350 of them — to the Prince William County Police Department.
The teddy bears are kept in police cars and given to children and others at accident scenes and other traumatic events.
“I am very proud of our Council for maintaining this tradition,” said Grand Knight Kevin Dunlop. “This is one of our favorite annual efforts and makes our Christmas Season special. We are proud to support our police and to help them be seen positively, helping children in bad situations who are otherwise scared.”
Prince William County police officers who were on hand to receive the teddy bears related how they have been given to children involved in accidents, domestic violence, or other traumatic situations. The officers told of how a simple teddy bear can comfort a child in an upsetting situation.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
