The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.
There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Recon, you were a great man, a GREAT leader, and one hell of a C.O.P. It truly broke my heart when I found out. I’m so very sorry for your family and we all truly lost. You always put your people first and demanded we took care of our people. Words cannot begin to explain how truly grateful I am for you. I will never forget you and I promise to strive towards the greatness you embodied. Until we meet again rest easy we’ve got it from here.
