Thanks to everyone who has left a reflection. I am now 24yrs. old and even though i was only 11 months old when my father passed, i feel like i really knew him. I always here how good a person he was. Everyone tells me all these stories about him and how much i act like him. I remember sitting down at my grandmothers table and bouncing my leg up and down, and my mom saying your dad use to do the same thing.

Times change and people change but the heart and dedication it takes to be a TROOPER will forever be the same. Each day troopers put their life on the line and i will always be thankful for the job they do.
