My big brother,
I miss you so much, even until this day. You was the big brother I looked up to. I will never forget our days together and how you tried to teach me to drive stick. The late nights playing RISK. I miss you always. I talk to my 3 girls, your nieces, about what a great uncle you would have been. I talk to them about you always. Never a day goes by that I dont think about you.

It is hard for me, even after all these years to write about that dreadful day along the highway. I think of you frequently and I pray that this never happens again.

You will NEVER be forgotten.

787-
It's difficult to believe that a score has passed since that awful day in Greenwich. I never had the chance to thank you for protecting me that day but I have lived with your memory since. While I do truly wish that I could have helped you I know that's not the way it was. I used to question why I was there but now I know that I am both proud and grateful to have been with you and to have known you as a Trooper and a friend. Thank you Jorge and know that I will never forget. - #741

Hey Brutha man.... it is coming up on 20 years..I don't know where the time goes but it sure flys by. There is not a day I don't do this job the best I can do and not think of you. I know your guiding me and watching over me.
This seems to get harder to tell you things as life goes on...kinda don't know what to say?
All I do know is I miss you big bro.
But I know you got my back.
Listen for my words in prayer and keep an eye out for all of your brothers and sisters in the uniform.
Luv ya and miss you tremendously Jorge.
Your lil' bro,

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
