Mark had "it" from the beginning. He was impressive during field training and didn't miss a beat; he was a great addition to C Squad and the entire department. He was friendly, funny, good natured, serious and tenacious when it mattered, and loved. We needed more Mark Bremers then, and we need more officers like him now. We all love and miss you, buddy! Rest in Peace.
