Most Recent Reflection
View all 13 ReflectionsIn February of 1999, my DEA Basic Agents Class, (BA-131) was dedicated to fallen SA Paul Seema. I've often thought about him during my law enforcement career and it's unfortunate my basic agents class did not have the pleasure in meeting such a good man. May he Rest in Peace Always.
