View all 6 ReflectionsMy great Grandfather was a huge influence in the Tulsa area and he was so proud that he had helped Abraham become an Officer. He spoke highly of you and passed it down to my grandfather who passed it on down the line. He made sure that everyone knew what a wonderful man Mr. Bowline was and it shows why he thought that.
Thank you Officer Bowline for your service and sacrifice.
