View all 2 ReflectionsBrother, it has now been 35 years since you were taken from those who knew and loved you best, and frankly, still do. You have not been forgotten. The man responsible for your death, his name is meaningless to the vast majority of us, but you are honored here for your service and sacrifice.
God Bless, Officer Landers and may your continued rest be ever peaceful.
