Patrolman Glover,
On today, the 95th anniversary of your death 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 well as for the citizens of Canada when you served with the Canadian Army during World War I.
