To a dedicated service member and law enforcement officer; but an even better human being. It was to my pleasure having known you during our time in Iraq, You were always the standard bearer, you made my life easy and it pains me to know that these words you will not hear. It is no surprise to me that your life was lost while in pursuit to render aid to someone else; that's the Josh I know and will always remember. Rest well my friend, I got the wheel until we meet again.
