Officer Henry Allen Brown was transferring to my US Army Reserve unit from the National Guard. We were understandably shocked when we saw the news report about the accident and we realized he was "our" Officer Brown. I helped recruit him to our unit and though we were not close friends, I think of him often, especially when driving by where the accident occured. Often wondered about his family and his now grown son. Rest easy soldier
