Special Agent Howell, on this 87th anniversary of your murder I simply wish to say Thank You for your service to the United States in your capacity as an ATF Agent. The current Agents do a remarkable job and with the example shown by pioneers as you, they will carry on and help to keep this nation just a little safer.

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