Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 99th “Checkerboard” Infantry Division in Europe fighting the Germans during World War II from 1944-45. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
