Reflections for Sergeant Mark Thomas Dunakin

My heart broke when I heard the news this morning, and pieces of it go out to everyone you knew. Thank you for choosing to live life selflessly. I'm deeply sorry it ended this way. Each of you are fallen heroes that will remain alive in spirit through even the memories of strangers.

Deepest sympathy to each family.

Serg, I didnt know you. Unfortunately I'll never have the oppurtunity too, But when i put on my uniform tommorow, as i shine my brass now, when im in DT later this week, I will be thinking of you and the other brothers in blue we lost. Now that your an in the heavens above, watch over us all of us who put on the uniform. All of us who do it day in and day out, not seeking superstar fame or glory, but just to do the JOB. GODS SPEED.. I pray for your family and the other families.
RIP
