View all 9 ReflectionsCaptain Dooley, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the sacrifice you made in an effort to maintain the line that separates the monsters from the innocent. I wanted to state again, how honored I am to have descended from you. Saving A Hero’s Place is currently constructing an honor chair for you. It will be placed in the police department for all to see, so that they may know the sacrifice you made was not in vain.
