On today, the 91st anniversary of your death, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 38th “Cyclone” Division in Europe fighting the Germans during World War .
