Lt. Hayden,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served with the USN in the Pacific during WW II and secondly for the citizens of Brockton when you served with the Brockton FD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
