    This is news? For a guy that served less than 5 years?

    Where are all the memorials, press mentions, and everything else for our service men and women who have died and ARE dying right now?

    And this from 50 years ago? Sorry he got killed, but damn. Let's get our priorities right.

    You obviously have no clue about the brotherhood of law enforcement 10:19. Maybe you should think before making such an asinine comment!
