my success. I was able to succeed as a husband, father, U.S.
marine, police officer, athlete, student, believer in God,
humanitarian, human being, and activist due to the guidance and
teachings of my beloved Mother, Linda Jean
Reese Harvey. My mother instilled in me that I could
accomplish anything I set my mind to. Working hard, never giving up
on my dream, being humble, avoiding haters, and trusting in God,
among other things, was her daily lessons. I have walked in her
footsteps and followed her vision; and I could not have done it
without her. I owe it all to her; she is my Hero" Ali
