View all 8 ReflectionsIt's mind boggling how a man who killed three LEO's could be pardoned, but not having all of the details and facts I'll stick with the positivity of this great website and the millions of great men and women who are honored on it because of their sacrifice. You are certainly one of those great men Sheriff Glover and please know that time will never erase your memory and legacy or the sacrifice you made.
