Rest in Peace Special Agent Robert F. Stringer. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting America's steel roadways.

I Pray for Peace for your Family, Friends and Co-Workers. I also Pray that the hounds of hell forever gnaw on the souls of your murderers. May their screams of anguish rise up from the grave as they are consumed in the lake of fire.

Amen.
