View all 9 ReflectionsNow it's 143 years and I salute a true pioneer in Massachusetts Law Enforcement. I have a feeling you are looking down now in disgust at how things have gone in this Great Commonwealth as far as "Justice" is concerned.
How has the welcome gone for our Brother Sean Gannon? No doubt you have all bonded.
God Bless you still, Brother and may your rest STILL be peaceful.
