To the Editor:

I am writing this letter in reference to an issue I created by an overzealous dune project I undertook. My apologies to Long Beach Township for “crossing the line.”

On 23rd Street in Spray Beach, I constructed a memorial to my cousin, Spc. Benjamin Patrick Moore, who was killed in the line of duty on Jan. 12, 2011 at age 23. An outstanding citizen and soldier, his life was cut short due to an IED explosion that killed him instantly.
