Marty,
This is hard to do since I tarnished the badge, but I appreciate the hard work and dedication you showed me for the one week you were my FTO. Then Phil white took over and picked up where you left off. My heart broke when you were killed and to this day I still think about you. Thank you for your service, dedication and hardwork. What happened to me is not a reflection of or on you. God speed my friend.
