God bless and keep you sir. America lost a true hero, you were standing watch and doing what you have done for 27 years-protecting our fellow citizens from harm and evil. You upheld that oath you took so long ago and our country is better for it.

Your wife and children are hurt, but for the rest of their days will carry the solemn pride of laying such a costly sacrifice on the altar of freedom.

You are home and safe now. We will stay strong and stay in the fight.

God bless your family and parents.

Major Barney,
I've heard so many stories of your childhood from my husband. He always laughed when told them to me and our two daughters. I'm sorry we never had the chance to meet each other but we spoke on the phone a couple times. Thank you for your dedication to public service. God Bless Your Wife and Your two beautiful sons.

Rest in Peace.
