Thank you for your sacrifice and service with the Hidalgo S.O. Warrant executions are always wrought with danger, but perhaps none are more dangerous than those served in narcotics cases. It takes a special breed to work narcotics, and for that we all should be grateful for investigators like you willing to do it. It looks like your law enforcement family and blood relatives are so proud of you as they should be.
