It is now 39 years since we lost you. We are so proud of you. It is such an honor to now have Captain Thomas J. Albert, Sr., N.O.P.D. remembered on the memorial in Washington D.C. So many other men and women are also remembered on the memorial. They paid the ultimate sacrifice. The memorial is so beautiful and at the same time, also sad. They will be remembered forever.
Your memory will live on.
You are loved and missed by all.
Until we meet again.
Love,

Your Wife, Gloria
