Agent Schanz,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but also when you served with the USNR as well. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
