Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My name is Bobby Lee Rodgers. No kinship other than he and grew up together till about twelve years old in Wasco, California. Roy moves to Bakersfield when his parents D.O. and Naomi devolved. We lost contact. I would love to hear from his family if possible. I haven’t seen them since 1975. I had no idea what happened till now. I’m on Facebook Wasco High School Class of 1958.

We were friends through High school and spent time with our cars and ---the big thing was to see who could walk on their hands the farthest--I was a good friend and knew Chuck well - I went into the Marine corps and Chuck the LAPD --I was surprised to find this Memorial to him --Very glad it's here

It has been a very long time. I was the youngest of the boys. I cherish what few memories I have of us together. I miss you more than words can describe. I have worked hard and hope you look down from above and we bring a smile to your face.

"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.

It has been 21 years since my father passed away. I was only 18 years old when my father passed away. I was leaving for my first military assignment that day. I frequently look back on that day and still just cannot believe that my dad is gone. I am coming up on my 40th birthday, which makes it more traumatic because that was my father's age when he died. I miss him so much. I can remember all the fun times I had with him. I remember when he would accompany my brother and I to cub scout meetings. When the pack we were in needed a leader, he was there to volunteer. I wish he was here today to see his 10 grandchildren. I love you Dad!
