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.
Special Agent Minetto gave the United States Department of Justice 8 years.
Thank you for your service. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
