Deputy Sheriff Bancroft, on today the 20th 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 USMC-especially in the Persian Gulf. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Semper Fi Devil Dog!
