Sgt. Pace,
On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Navy as a crewmember on the aircraft carrier USS Midway(CV-41) during the Persian Gulf War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
