I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Conservation Officer Jackson gave the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources 22 years.
Thank you for your service to the Montgomery community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
