My dad Trooper Callaghan was with Trooper Patrick the day of the accident. My father and Trooper Patrick had made a traffic stop and were out of their vehicle. From what I can recall Trooper Callaghan was at the rear of the car getting the plate number and Trooper Patrick the front when he was struck by the passing car. The vehicle was pushed into Trooper Callaghan and he was injured. I remember my father telling me what a great guy Trooper Patrick was and that he was a good officer and friend.

My dear Grandfather, your heroism does not escape me.
Your wife and children have all now joined you once again.
Your need to protect has lived on in the life of your great grandson. Sargent Cody Lee Mathis is now serving in Afganastan. His second tour of duty.
May you watch over him.
Rest in Peace Grandpa, Mama, Virginia and Daddy.
