Officer Down Memorial Page

Officer Ross, yesterday was the 48 year anniversary of your end of watch. My last message to you last May 16 2011 was sorrowful and apologetic and I still stand by those words. But I have learned so much more since then in regards to why God takes away certain people at certain times. And I truly was moved by the letter that your Brother in-law Charles M. Santos sent to the City of Richmond the very same day you were buried. And I would like him to know that your passing did not go in vain. I truly believe that it changed history as did many things going on at that time. Civil rights, Matin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela's 27 year prison sentence. But your name Charles meant something and still does to this day. Wikipedia says the name Charles means Free Man, and I believe that 48 years and 1 day ago you ascended early to become a Free Man. I will see you when I get there.!..*.* An old admirer from the same side!!-!!-!!!.. Rest in Peace officer Ross Johnny From Richmond
