I feel your family was blessed to have you for so long after the events of April 19, 1991 but how cruel you couldn't enjoy your life as much as you could have due to the actions of a meaningless pile of rancid meat whose death is not mourned by decent human beings.

You showed great courage that day and for the years that followed and I respect and admire you for making the most of what you had. For your service both while on duty and while showing that, in spite of your injuries, you would not give up, you are a hero.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
