Wish we had the death penalty for jerk who murdered this young man doing his job
Very, very sad day for all of Iowa. My sympathy goes out to the Algona police department and Kevin Cram’s family and loved ones. He looks so young and full of life. It’s hard to look at his youthful face and realize that he paid the ultimate price for our safety. May the family be blessed with peace. Kevin, rest in peace. The good Lord needed you home. Thank you for your service to the very end.
