Marshal Silcox,
Sir, it has taken over 117 years but you are finally being honored. I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Shelby City. It sickens me that your murderer was only sentenced to three years and then pardoned by a POS politician. Hopefully your murderer and that governor got some justice later on.
