I've seen you several times along route 40 as I frequent that Wawa. I only wish I had been there and given my all to help you. All though I didn't know you personally, it really hit me hard. I wear the same uniform you wear, the only difference is our patches and I work in Pa. May God bless you and your family and Heaven smile upon your legacy. I thank you for your service to our community. You are now relieved of duty and the evils associated with it. Job well done.
