Thank you for the posting about my great grandfather: This is an important remembrance not just for my family, but to remind all of us who have served, of the sacrifices made by the many brave men and woman who have ended their watch in this fashion. I served this same department partly from the tradition that existed in my family (Roy L Shamblin's son, Roy E. Shamblin, my grandfather went on to serve after his father was killed)but also driven by the same desire to serve the community in which I live. I am confident that all officers are committed to this same ideal. God Bless all who do it.

As a sidebar, I have my great grandfathers service revolver, the one he used to return fire during the ambush. He also used this gun to shoot the prisoner in self defense during the ambush. This gun was taken from Leo Frazier (the man who was hanged for killing my grandfather) at the time of his arrest in New York.

Thank you for helping to maintain the vigil.
