Most Recent Reflection
View all 236 ReflectionsI had the honor of carrying TFC. Coble to his final rest, a memory that I will never forget. I retired from the PSP over 6 years ago and just by chance came upon Blake's page today while serving at a new department where I began to serve again in 2022. I wanted to let his family know we do not forget his sacrifice, and I honor his memory today. May our Lord find his family well and at peace. Blessings to you today.
