Reflections for Patrolman Joseph Sternberg
Patrolman Sternberg,
On today, the 70th 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. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

He was my grandfather. My mom’s dad, and I never got to know him. I wish that I did. What a hero. I love him without even knowing him. My mom was only 3.. his wife Anita hurt so bad. Sadly she died young too. At least they are forever together in heaven right now. God bless you grandpa! Wish u got to meet your great grandkids and me and my brother Michael, too.
