As I sit here and browse the ODMP site, as I try and do every day, and as I sit here with family in the greatest vacation place in all of the world, Ocean City, NJ, I came across Officer Shore. On this very day 93 years ago you left us serving and protecting the people of Ocean City and on this day 93 years later, we say thank you. We also say please know that your sacrifice is one that will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren. Watch over your grandson and keep him safe during his tour of duty and rest in peace always.

I hope you would be proud of me and that I am properly honoring your legacy. Think of you often and remember the stories my dad told of you and how proud he was of your service.

Again I would like to express myself and my condolences adequately to the family of Policeman Shore and I find it so difficult to put into words."No Man's Land" (also known as "The Green Fields of France" or "Willie McBride") is a song written in 1976 by Scottish Australian folk singer-songwriter Eric Bogle, reflecting on the grave of a young man who died in World War I. Its chorus refers to two famous pieces of military music, "The Last Post" and "The Flowers of the Forest". Its melody, its refrain ("did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly"), and elements of its subject matter (a young man cut down in his prime) are similar to those of "Streets of Laredo"
It's a song that was written about the military cemeteries in Flanders and Northern France. THE WORDS:
Well, how'd you do, Private Willie McBride,
D'you mind if I sit down down here by your graveside?
I'll rest for awhile in the warm summer sun,
Been walking all day, Lord, and I'm nearly done.
I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
When you joined the glorious fallen in 1916,
I hope you died quick and I hope you died "clean,"
Or, Willie McBride, was it slow and so mean?

CHORUS:
Did they beat the drum slowly, did they sound the fife lowly?
Did the rifles fire o'er ye as they lowered ye down?
Did the bugles sing "The Last Post" in chorus?
Did the pipes play the "Floors1 O' The Forest"?

And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined?
And, though you died back in 1916,
To that loyal heart are you forever nineteen?
Or are you a stranger, without even a name,
Forever enshrined behind some glass pane,
In an old photograph, torn and tattered and stained,
And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame?
[ADD'l VERSES not printed]

In our Faithful hearts your memory, Harry Shore, is forever enshrined, God Bless you and your family always

To My Grandfather,
Though you were gone before I was born, I just wanted you to know your son (my father) always spoke of you with great pride. I know he missed you so much until he passed away. I hope he is with you now so you two can catch up on a life of memories. I also hope you are proud that I am carrying on your legacy as a police officer, first in the USAF Security Police and now with JSO. I love & miss you. Brian

"And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core. "-W.B.YEATS'S INNISFREE ,THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
