View all 10 ReflectionsChief Kanz, today marks the 48th anniversary of your untimely death. I find it ironic that those protesting the war and the death overseas caused deaths here at home, including yours.
Though the years have passed, for those who knew and loved you best, both at work and especially at home, it probably seems like yesterday but I'm sure, you have been kept in their hearts and minds and thusly, have never truly left them.
God Bless you, Brother and may your continued rest remain peaceful.
