My Mom was 4 years old when you lost your life, she will be 97 in March 2008.
My grandmother knew every police officer in the town I grew up in and she always made sure they knew me. Police Offiers have been part of my life and Gram always always taught us to have the utmost respect for them and to do what they told us. She always said never mind your p's and q's mind you po's (police officers) and we did.
that is why I am here today remembering you and thanking you Sir for you service.
Wish everyone had to live with my Grandma's standards, as most of you would ever be here.

but try waking up every morning and

That's what takes a real hero."
