View all 7 ReflectionsI just read about the tragic loss of your life on Back the Blue in Minnesota. I am saddened that there are not more tributes to you on here. You deserve more recognition for the hero and protector that you were, but I realize that this happened so long ago, and that there were many who mourned your loss deeply. Thank you for your service.
