Corporal Lecroy, i'm sorry for what happened to you 14 years ago, as your death wasn't justified in any way. The man who took your life will receive karma for his actions, as i don't think giving him a life sentence is enough for what he did to you. Personally, i think they should've just gave him the death sentence and put him in the ground a long time ago, because he doesn't need to waste another breath of oxygen on this earth after his actions. He didn't just take away a trooper, but a father, a husband, a son, and a man who did what he was called to do which was to protect and serve the state of Georgia, and a man who was still getting started in his career. As a resident of Georgia myself, i wanna personally thank you for your service, as your service will not be forgotten for as long as time goes on, and that your impact is still felt by those you met and left an impact on. Your commitment to the state of Georgia is honorable, and with you only having 2 years as a trooper, it goes to show that you did alot during those 2 years. And although i never personally met you, i can tell you were a good man who did was right and to help others who needed your help, as they were unable to defend themselves, meaning you were a defender and protector to those who couldn't fight. From what i learned, is that you worked in construction for some time, until you chose to become a trooper, which i think is a good career path, since you were a strong man in nearly every aspect. And on top of that you were a family man, as you were also busy raising both your sons and being with your wife, which does give an aspect as to what type of man you were. But i'm sure your sons have grown up to learn about their father's legacy, as you not just left an impact, but you left behind a cherished legacy and story surrounding not just your passing, but your service as a state trooper and the way you served with honor. But as i mentioned earlier, the scumbag who took your life will receive karma for his actions, as he will face judgement day and pay for his actions. Karma is a powerful thing, meaning that it will eventually one day reach those who do wrong, especially to those who harm an officer who was doing their job. As of now, may you rest in peace knowing your service is appreciated, and i personally salute you for it as someone who was born in Georgia. Rest Well Mr. Lecroy
