View all 7 ReflectionsDear Uncle John Henry, I just found you doing geneology research. Your death certificate reads homicide-- shot in the head. I am abjectly sorry but so proud of you being a hero. You were my great grandfather's brother and I am sure the whole family was heartbroken. Rest in peace
