The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or power -
it is found in the strength
of their character.
There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Agent Morales-Aponte, a police officer should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your 29-year commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Puerto Rico Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, vya don Dios Hemano!
