Reflections for Trooper Werner Foerster

Here it is 29 years later and I can remember the day of May 2, 1973, lke it was yesterday. I was only 6 years old and I didn`t live far from the shooting.I was very sad when I heard that Trooper Werner Foerster was killed by a woman and extremely upset when she escaped from prison and hasn`t yet been caught. I am now 35 years old and travel the turnpike everyday to go to my assigned area and always think on what happened to Trooper Foerster and his family that day. Restin Peace brother and because of you I followed your footsteps in law enforcement, As long as I live I will never forget that you gave your life for the people of the State of New Jersey.
