The funds will be used for Dinh’s long-term rehabilitation costs not covered by insurance. Donations can also be made on the FOP Lodge 77
website. He is currently in rehab at Mount Vernon Hospital.
“Dinh’s spirits are pretty good,” said Mason police officer
Courtney Young. “He is able to stand briefly and wants to come back to work.” According
to recent updates posted on a blog set up by Dinh’s family, his jaw has been
unwired, and he’s been able to talk in short sentences.
