On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but also when you served as a U.S. Army Paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division-the "All-American" Division. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
Airborne All The Way!
