Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis, a bagpiper, and others are about to surprise Fairfax athlete Michael Long on the golf course. Davis said. “This is a big announcement for you, and you worked so hard to make this happen.”
Davis tells Long that all the people there, his family, friends, police officers, and onlookers, are there for him. “You must be wondering what's going on with bagpipes and a bunch of cops. But we're very proud of you, and we want to read you something.
“Dear Michael,” Davis reads. “On behalf of Special Olympics Virginia, we would like to congratulate you on being selected as a unified golf candidate for Team Virginia attending the 2026 USA Games in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in June of 2026.”
