I was at the candle light vigil Sunday evening in Washington DC when his name was read. While 76 years is a lengthy time to wait, it was the perfect time from my perspective since I wasn't there for an officer from Washington state but also from the Samp family. Thanks to those who did the research to bring his sacrifice to light.
