View all 392 ReflectionsChief Maloney, I'm here on the 13th Anniversary of your passing. The sacrifice you made not only proved your strength, but your bravery as you were a brave man to face danger that day with no fear. And on top of it, you were in the U.S. Army, which further proves what kindof person you were with that level of strength and dedication you had in you. But rest assured, the man who took your life is also gone, as he got what he deserved for taking you away from your family and in law enforcement. From what i've seen, you were a good man who served not just his people in New Hampshire, but his country as well, meaning you were a tough individual that was all about protecting and helping his people in need. And on top of you being a chief, you assisted and guided your officers throughout your time there and educating them throughout their journey, which i respect you in doing so. But as i said earlier, the man who killed you is also gone, meaning that he is being punished and suffering the consequences for his actions that day 13 years ago, also meaning your family and everyone that knew you can have a sense of peace knowing that evil individual got what was coming. As of now, may you rest in peace knowing your service as a soldier and officer is appreciated, and you did well with your time on earth. Rest Well Mr. Maloney
