Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I think a lot of you and your sacrifices. Knowing you served our country as a Military Police at Camp Jessup, South Korea. Then again, when you took a job for Mohave County, Arizona. And your final job, for The Town of Colorado City, Arizona when they incorporated.

While I, and countless others, enjoyed our sleep in our comfortable beds you were out facing a threat to society we know nothing of.

Though I was only eleven, when you made the ultimate sacrifice, I will always cherish every memory, and life lesson, with you. I love your ready smile and guiding hand. Thank you for taking the time to teach me to fish and appreciate and respect the outdoors.

Thank you for helping me see my need to step up and be a help to my Mother. And thank you for your last and encouraging words to me "Put away your childish things and be a help to your mother". I quickly learned to make my mother my best friend!

I will remember your sacrifice forever. It is the reason I volunteered as a firefighter and an EMT in our community for so many years. The reason I took a job in our municipal government. And, as the fourth of thirteen children, the reason I influenced others of my siblings to be involved in community service.

I love you and will miss you always Father.

Thinking about the first day I met you, standing there in the hallway of the fire station, a big grin on your face. I see it so much in the faces of your boys. Thank you for your sacrifice to keep us safe. ❤️

"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.
