Trooper Lietzan carried my sister and me to safety after a car accident in 1965 in Connersville. He then escorted our ambulance to the hospital. His kindness and service will never be forgotten by my family.
Thank you for your service Trooper Lietzan, may your family find comfort in your services to those you know and those strangers you helped along your way.
God Bless you and your family.

As a 5 year old I was close enough to hear the gunshots that were fired at Trooper Lietzan (Metamora Indiana). I have always remembered this tragic incident. My parents spoke fondly of Bob as it appeared he was well known in the area. May God bless you, your family, and your brave actions.

Our Greatest Fear
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again, I hold back a tear.
They patrol in the state, city, county and town,
in uniforms colored white, green, blue and brown.
The shape of their badges may vary,
but it’s a symbol that they all, proudly carry.
They leave for work with a kiss goodbye,
but some don’t come home, no matter how hard they try.
To uphold the law is the job that they pick,
with such high aspirations, why must some die so quick?
They leave behind loved ones, family and friends,
after their lives have met tragic ends.
Some die in crashes, others hearts not too stout,
too many have been lost when gunshots ring out.
Our Heavenly Father has called them home,
no more these dark streets do they roam.
Through trial and error they have given their best,
please Lord, now grant them eternal rest.
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
" Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again I hold back a tear.
