Agent Daniels,
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 U.S. Armed Forces-especially during World War II when you served with the U.S. Army Air Forces. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
