Thanks for your service and sacrifice. I too worked SWAT for many years prior to promoting out. Your actions that day are so impressive and reflective a brave, selfless,considerate and honorable police officer--qualities that are not always a common virtue. NYPD and your family should be so proud. Thank you for your service and for sacrificing your life so that others could live on.
