John, I was thinking of you today. I hope you are resting in peace brother. I miss shooting the 88 magnum with you and jaw jacking in the adj's office. We are back in Cherry Point again for another go. You are not forgotten.

Today, as like most days, I thought of you. I miss you but know you are around, keeping us safe. Keep up the good work.
