Sergeant Taylor, You've made the ultimate sacrifice while on a detail. Too many have lost their lives while on detail and there's little doubt it will happen again, but God willing it won't.

Brother, thank you for the time you gave and the job you did. How you left your families will never be forgotten, but more importantly, it cannot be forgotten how you were with us, even if we never had the honor of meeting you.

God Bless you and may you forever Rest in Peace.

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.
