I was in the same company at the academy with Angelo. He struck me as one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. It was a short time later that I learned late one night that Angelo had died in the line of duty. Angelo's memory has stayed with me all this time. His name is on the Police memorial wall in Washington DC. Angelo was a Marine. So with that I say Semper Fi, Angelo. Strength & Honor
