To the family of Officer Dare. May God always shine on you through your grief and loss.

Formerly OPD
My name is Joshua, and in the Criminal Justice program at ITT Technical Institute. I’m not sure if I’m related to you or how if I am. It would be an honor to write a paper that I have due in a couple of weeks about you. I was more than surprised when I visited the wall today and seen an officer with the same last name as myself on it.
Thank you so much for the service you did and the sacrifice you made.
