Reflections for Patrolman Jeremy T. Charron
Tonight was the one year anniversary of Briggs in the line of duty death. I know you and he were tight - being Marines and all.... Anyway, being a fellow LEO (Manchester) today has caused me to pause and reflect on the example you and Briggs impressed on so many people.
I know you and Mike are up there causing havoc and keeping things in order. Anyway, just wanted to drop a line to say that you and Mike have not been forgotten. Please pass this on to Mike, I think he would appreciate it.

We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of that dark day in August of 97. I was relieving you that Sunday morning. I think about you often and some of the stuff we had been through. You are a true inspiration to all. The day we said good bye to you is a day I will never forget. I miss you and send my prayers to you and your family every day.

I haven’t been to NH in a long time. On the drive up, I always use the stretch of highway dedicated to him to reflect on the memories I have of him. Although, I was only ten, he had a profound impact on my life. Almost 10 years later I can honestly say that I am still not OK with losing him.
But I know everyday he is looking down on me. My guardian angel. I hope that I make him proud and that I turn out to be half the person he was.
Always in my heart<3

To Jeremy's family
I am the sister of New Hampshire's most recent fallen officer, Bruce McKay of Franconia. I recently learned that my brother was one of the officers at the scene when Jeremy's killer was aprehended. It is such an honor to witness the incredible bond that officers and their families have for one another when faced with tragedy in the line of duty. Having just been through what you went through in August 1997, I know your pain and anguish and I am sending you prayers and hope that time has helped you heal. I wish I had a time machine right about now for my own pain, but I know that the support of others makes all the difference in the world. If you plan to attend Police week in DC in 2008, I would love to meet you there.
Sincerely,
Meggen

Jeremy Charron is a hero who will always be remembered for his loyalty and sacrifice to New Hampshire and his country.
He was a proud and loving man who would do anything for anybody.
I know Jeremy's father well, and I remember playing football once or twice with Jeremy and his dad many years ago when we played those "Turkey Bowl" games in Hillsboro.
Jeremy made his family proud.
May his light continue to shine for all those who follow.

As the days go on know that you will not be forgotten...both you and Briggs will always be remembered for your courage, honor, and commitment.
We have a tradition in the Corps to turn an empty glass, for honor and remembrance of our brothers past... I just turned my second for you and Briggs. Semper Fidelis Brothers.

Jeremy,
You are not forgotten, and tonight NH mourns another loss of an officer who worked in the Epsom PD, and one was a pall bearer for you. I have to figure you knew him, as a fellow young officer and former Marine, and that you're there to greet him in his transition today. keep giving both your and his friends and family the strength to get through these difficult times.

As I watch the news today, I have learned that another fellow officer has fallen just as you did. I can't help but feel the pain and sorrow that I felt on August 24th, 1997. Everyday I miss you more and more and hope that will always watch over me. Missing you...

I worked with Jeremy when I was a bail commissioner & clerking courtrooms. I often think of the young man so eager to serve. Jeremy, you were an amazing person. Your honesty was refreshing. Your strength inspiring. You earned your wings in every moment of life. Spread them and watch over us. For all eternity may God guide you in the palm of his hand.

At the Washington Memorial I saw your name engraved in stone. On the wall with other heroes you are not alone. I etched your name and relived the pain that will be forever in my soul. May god keep you in his hands my friend and may you Rest in Peace.

Today marks the 9th anniversary of your murder. Most of us remember that whole event and the tragic events that occurred previously. It was a very sad few weeks for the Granite State.
I pray that the filth responsible are still in prison. Then again, it's New Hampshire, I have no doubt they will NEVER leave, nor should they.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

I salute you not only for your dedicated service to law enforcement but also to your country. You have not been forgotten nor will that ever be the case as your loved ones will carry on your memory as will your close friends in the Blue Family. Keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol protecting the Thin Blue Line.
You are a true hero and heroes never die.
