Officer Hamel, today marks the 53rd anniversary of your heroic sacrifice. You gave your life trying to stop someone who was endangering many with his actions. If that isn’t the definition of a hero, nothing is. I thank you for your unselfish service to the people of the City of Springfield and the Commonwealth as a whole.

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