Detective, sometimes throughout time the memory of a hero gets lost in an ever evolving and changing world, but the service and sacrifice is always there and will never be lost. I am honored to be the second of what I am sure will be many more reflections to say thank you and acknowledge the hero that you are for the sacrifice you made on this day 98 years ago. Rest in peace sir.
