Mr. Reddin,
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 U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and later for the citizens of Somerville when you served with the SPD. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
