Regardless of what some may say about their actions in Houston\, Texas\, many of us believe that these men died with honor because they refused to bow down to the injustices of their time. They were trained to defend\, protect and serve the United States of America and the Constitution and they fulfilled their duty even unto death\,” says Pastor K.P.
