The era and manner of Law Enforcement you decided to serve in speaks tremendously about your character and commitment to do what is right and uphold the law regarding alcohol when most of our countrymen did not. I am honored to be in the same profession with noble and steadfast Americans like yourself. I pray your family is well and you rest with great peace sir.

Though in the end Prohibition turned out to be a folly, You showed heroism enforcing a law few wanted and fewer seemed to obey. Ninety Three years ago today, you gave your life doing what was right at the time and for taking that brave stand, you are a hero.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

Proud to share your name brother.

"My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him. He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference. He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent. He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.



He was a cop.



Although I never met him, I knew him. He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm. He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary. He was competent, trained, and professional.



He was a cop.



Although I never met him, I knew him. He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became frustrated when true justice became sidetracked. He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he never wavered. He stood by and for his fellow officers.



He was a cop.



Although I never met him, I knew him. He longed for his family during the long hours. He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart. He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling and prayed they would understand.



He was a cop.



Although I never met him, I knew him. He was a good son, a loving husband. He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the people he served. He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to be the best he could be. He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.



He was a cop.



Yes, I did know him. He was a cop, he was my Brother
