Most Recent Reflection
View all 21 ReflectionsI never met this Special Agent, but my sister worked for him at the St. Louis Field Office. She continues to speak so highly of him and every time we lost as police officer we think of this exceptional Agent who was so highly thought of by all who knew and worked for him. Such is the case this morning as I read about the four police officers lost while serving a warrant in North Carolina.
