Dear Capt Bragg Jr. Dallas PD
Thank you for that extremely kind and moving reflection of my dad. Your message was received and I am thankful to you for that. My dad was in the guard, was a airplane pilot, had his masters degree in history, was a 32nd degree mason and just all around great human and only 29. He had so much more ahead of him. His brutal murder changed the entire course of our families lives forever. RIP dad
