My thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to the family of Trooper Lund. This is the first time I ever looked up the officer whose life was taken by two boys I once knew. It makes me so angry to think of all the lives ruined by their sheer stupidity and cowardice. I am sorry for what they have done and want to say it makes me ashamed to be from the same town. I want to thank Dennis Lund for his service and ulimate sacrifice...who knows how many more innocent people could have been hurt by them if not for this brave and dedicated man.
