View all 3 ReflectionsPatrolman Dunn, it's now been 136 years since your passing. Your time on the job was not long, but I have little doubt it was honorable and done well. I feel that the City of Boston lost someone with extreme potential. I hope and pray that your descendants are well aware of and take pride in knowing your dedication to duty and the sacrifice you made.
God Bless and may your eternal be ever peaceful, Brother.
