Agent Seale,
On today, the 21st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country-not just as a LEO but also when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 82nd Airborne "All American" Division. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Airborne All The Way!
