Mr. Downs,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the USAF during the Korean War and secondly for the citizens of Boston when you served with the BFD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
