Trooper Le, I pray that your pain and suffering ended quickly. I know that God opened His arms to you and welcomed you into His kingdom where there is no pain. You had so much more to do here, but that was not the plan. You have been patrolling the streets of Heaven now. May God Bless you and all those who loved you here on earth. I Thank you for your service. Rest in Peace, Brother.
