As a child, I remember my father, who was either a classmate or a close friend of Officer Sartain, telling me about the incident. At the time, I didn't understand. Now, as a Agent, I can personally understand what my father was going through. Still to this day I will mention Officer Sartain's name and my father is silent.

Officer Sartain, although we never met, you were and are still a part of my life. I would like to say that although you are gone you will never be forgoten.

10-42...may you rest in peace.
