It was my honor wearing your dads shield for 14 years. I thought that they would have retired that after he was killed. When I got promoted many new sgts had nice bright new shields. When I was given your dads it looked old lol. But I’ll never forget that number nor your father. I didn’t realize I was was wearing your dads until many years later. I grew up right near where your father was killed and passed there many times. Coincidence? Maybe not.
