Thank you for your service and sacrifice....You are not forgotten. You have a young Trooper named Calvin Jenks by your side for back up now. Trp. Jenks is the grandson of Lt. Hartsfield. Lt. Hartsfield was a young Trooper there the day you gave ultimate price. Take care of Calvin for us. Rest in peace Lt. Gibbs
