My wife grew up in Williamsport and I had the pleasure of living there for 3 years before we returned to Australia. Despite living on the other side of the world and living in different centuries your sacrifice will never be forgotten officer Hughes. God bless to you and your descendants. Every year we return to visit family in Williamsport and every trip you will be utmost in our thoughts and prayers. God speed Officer Hughes!
