Well said about a 'real person'. A person that I never new in person but I feel that I DID know him. He was always here to help and/or offer guidance to someone.
This evening on a local North Dakota news cast they showed a Memorial service for Police Officers who have lost there live in duty. There were none locally but they had the service for all and had a 21 gun salute to these officers nationwide. I right away thought of Gary.
