I just became aware of my great Uncle’s death
I never knew about him
My fairer is a graduate student and is writing a research paper
My Dad was also John F. Brennan
This made me very sad to read about his death and that his murder/s were never found
God continue to rest your soul
I thank for your bravery and service

Your murderers may have never been caught to face justice, but they surely faced a much higher justice in a different place at a different time. Rest in peace always knowing that no passage of time can ever erase your service and sacrifice.

Dear Great Uncle John,
You have not been forgotten. The reflections left here by so many from across the country, has touched me deeply. It brought tears to my eyes. How kind are these people to remember and honor you!

I have been researching the Brennan family for 7 years now and this is the first time I've seen these beautiful notes. I thought that no one remembered you.

Your death was so tragic and unnecessary. I'm certain your mother and siblings were very grieved. Your father died in 1901. You are the brother to my husband's grandfather Michael Francis Brennan.

Patrolman Brennan, though the fate of your murderer is not known to us, God knows and I pray He brought that miserable wretch to true justice.

God Bless and may you be resting in peace, Brother.

Rest in Peace, brother John. Rest In Peace knowing that while you died a hero's death and for your bravery you'll be forever honored, the cowardly assassin whose bullet ended your young life has died a thousand deaths. And while you now patrol and guard the heavens with our Saint Michael, the murderer now burns in hell - forever.

KEEP A LIGHT ON FOR ME, BRO.
