Patrolman Muxlow,
On today, the 110th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment during the Spanish-American War.
