I think of your final day every time I drive through the intersection of Business Loop 70 and Rangeline in Columbia. This is the current day intersection of 1933's US 40 and US 63.

Sgt. Booth,
On today, the 74th anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of Missouri. It took another three years, but at least one of your murderers finally got the justice that he deserved.

Sgt Booth I just wanted to tell you how proud you would have been of your daughter, Owanna. Owanna, who was a small child when you died, will be 80 years old soon. She is such a delightful woman. I am proud to call her my friend and she is so very proud of you.

The first member to be killed in the line of duty. His family was left to fend in the depths of the depression with the $2.50 he had in his pocket when he was killed. He was a husband, father, mentor, and friend who will never be forgotten.

No one who gave his life in the line of duty should be without a reflection. Thank you Sergeant Booth for your sacrifice. You'll never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
