Special Agent Grant, today marks the 82nd anniversary of your tragic death. You did it in the service of the people. It’s well known that moonshiners not only break the law, but often times the product they sell is so inferior that there are serious health risks. You did what had to be done to enforce the law and protect the people. I’m so sad that it cost you your life. You are a hero.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
