Patrolman Jordan, today marks the 122nd anniversary of your murder. It shouldn't bring me satisfaction that your murder died in prison, but it does and he was never able to kill another innocent person again, or a hero such as yourself, either.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.
