Very seldom in one's life does one come face to face with a true hero. Jesse you were the real deal,as a marine and a reserve police officer you could be counted upon to be there. No matter if it was in Vietnam or on the streets of Topeka your partner knew you were ready and welling to sacrifice yourself for them. May you find rest in the arms of a loving savior, Jesus Christ; and may God shower blessings upon the family you leave behind on this earth. Once again thank you for your heroic action on Oct.3,1973 that likely saved myself from getting hurt and made it possible for both of us to go home to our family that night.
