Reflections for Police Officer Milton G. Curtis
Officer Curtis, Last night I watched A&E's "Cold Case Files" and was so pleased to see that although 45 years later, your department's investigators and investigators from the L.A. County Sheriff's Office arrested your murderer. You and Officer Phillips would have been so proud of their relentless efforts . . . they were so impressive. I'm so proud of them.
You and Officer Phillips are true heroes . . . you truely protected the community, California and the country. I honor you, your name, your memory and your sacrifice. Rest easy blue angel . . . your brother and sister officers have achieved justice for you and your partner. We will never forget either of you. With brotherly love and respect, Jim Crotty (Former Richmond, VA Police Officer).

If Milton Curtis had lived he would be my father-in-law today.
God Bless the Officers of both El Segundo and the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department for their tireless dedication to the pursuit of justice. Because of them Officers Curtis and Phillips can finally rest in peace. They did not forget, they did not forgive and they did not give up!! You will forever be an important part of our families.

I heard about this story on Paul Harvey news today January 30, 2003. I thank God that the killer has been brought to justice. Rest in peace blue angel.
