View all 22 ReflectionsI was one of the first units to get to you that day. I reached in and held your hand knowing you were leaving us. I took your weapon off and secured in the trunk of my unit once EMS arrived and confirmed our worse fears. I watched your family at your funeral and saw how broken they were but still holding each other up. You were and are loved and missed.
