Even though the person who did this to you was acquitted, he will still have to answer to God.
He has not gotten away with anything.

You did not die in vain.

Thank you so much for your service to the great State of Texas and the Houston Police Department.

Dear Uncle Victor,
You are still missed and talked about in our house.
My children that are now grown know your name and have seen the faded pictures in the album in the hall.
I have many memories of good day's gone by.
But I have a childhood memory that still breaks my heart in to.
Sitting there waiting to say goodbye to you.

Detective Victor as we prepare for our "50" year reunion for next June 2014, you will be missed. But you will be remembered as paying the ultimate sacrifice for the citizens of Houston. You will be remembered and a part of our time together. Your ultimate sacrifice to the residents of Houston will not be forgotten. You are not forgotten by the Jeff Davis High School class of 1964.

"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.
