View all 33 ReflectionsI worked Southside 3rd shift and my squad would have “Roll Call” at that bar on Wednesday mornings when we got off of shift. I learned the story of their sacrifice as a rookie and we always paid homage to their courage. The bar had their portraits hung in honor!.... Here’s to us and those like us, damn few left!
