Rest in Peace, Brother. Thank you for your service.

God Bless Ranger Nickel, his family, and friends. "I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom." Abraham Lincoln

I'm so sorry to hear about Ranger Nickel. As part of the Los Angeles Police Dept, I offer sincere condolances to his friends and family. Being a cop is always stressfull even when we joke about it, being the EZ life. It's not. To leave so early from this planet is not good. So much life yet to live.
I'm sorry.
