My Mom was a Montgomery Police Officer and was pregnant with me at the time Officer Ussery was killed. I always remember my mom telling me what a good person "Bobby" was. I believe Officer Ussery was one of the reasons my little brother was named Robert when he was born in 1980.

Bobby and I were friends since the 6th grade at Pike Road school. We fished, rode horses, motorcycles and all the things friends do. In 1972 we were both married and sitting around discussing what we wanted to do with our life, and since we both had an interest in law enforcement decided to join the Montgomery Police Department.

We joined in 1973 and went through training together. We were assigned to different divisions, but remained close. The day of Bobby's accident I was working in narcotics and rushed to the hospital. What an emotional time that is still burned in my memory. I got the oportunity to sit alone with him and tell him how much our friendship meant to me, and to talk about some of the memorable times we had growing up. I will always believe he heard me talking.

I love you Bobby and have never forgotten you.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and how I wish you were still here. You died doing what you loved, just like our father. That's the only consolation I have.

"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.
