Today, June 12, 2008, as I mourn the loss of Todd Bahr of the Fredericksburg Police Department my mother told me of your murder 28 years ago. She went to school with you and your wife. I want to let you know that the ultimate sacrifice that you made has not been forgotten, and never will be.
Godspeed,
