We have lost another brother in arms doing what he was called to do. It wasn't a job to him but a 'CALLING' for a higher purpose - To protect and serve the citizens of Houston. The heavens are crying today from Houston, TX to Nashville, TN for the loss of OFC Martin. God has called you home to protect those who proceeded you and who will follow you. Patrol in Peace my Brother!!!
