To remember and cherish the life of a man who dedicated his life to serving and protecting myself and my loved ones. There is no way to repay him for his duty. Thank you.
I have grown children his age. I am a NSU Alumni. His story has touched my heart and soul. I live in a small town 45 minutes south of Shreveport. I am a journalism major. My prayers are with his family.
