From CWO4 Brett Swanson, USMC (Ret) (25Nov09):

This is a timely and meaningful reminder of the tragic death of our good friend and comrade, Brett McKee. He was a fine man in all respects. As I live in Washington, DC now I make it a point to visit the National Law
Enforcement Officers Memorial and always pause at the panel which contains Brett's name. For those who may be traveling to the DC area in the future, Brett McKee's name is enshrined on Panel 54, E-18. He is among good friends at this beautiful memorial, all of whom made the ultimate sacrifice in the
line of duty.

Anyone interested can visit the Memorial's website at: www.nleomf.com

On the site, you may search for colleagues, make a donation, and even order flowers or a wreath to be displayed. Thank you for reminding us of our loss of Brett in 1992. I remember the day and will be forever saddened by it.

Best regards to you and to all of our brothers and sisters, past and
present, especially those in harm's way now,

Bret
