Gordan, my fellow academy mate, co-worker and friend. It has been 11 years since I have seen and talked with you. I have just learned of your passing while viewing Officer Down Memorial page, today May 17, 2001. Although you passed several years ago, I greave today as if it just happened. Tears ran down my cheeks when i saw a friend and academy mate from my past had fallen. I will never forget the time you and I were involved in the traffic crash with Bobby and Ray while we were in training together. Sitting there together in the Major's Office waiting to get chewed out....boy the fear on our faces. I didn't appreciate it then but now I wouldn't trade that time for the world. I will always remember you. Randy Garrett....class of 88-B

I STILL REMEMBER THAT SEPTEMBER DAY I WAS WORKING AT THE SHERIFFS DEPT IN COOSA CO AND WHEN I BEGAN MY TOUR AT 3:00PM I HEARD THE NEWS ON THE RADIO. MY HEART WENT OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, AND TO ALL OF THE OFFICERS AT MPD.YOU ARE IN A LOT BETTER PLACE NOW AND ARE PATROLING THE STREETS OF GOLD. YOU AND OFFICERS ROBERT USSERY ARE TOGETHER TAKING CARE OF THINGS IN HEAVEN. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

OFFICER C. VINSON
LANETT PD #156

I rode with you once or twice when I was on 3rd shift at MPD.  I only wish I could have been there to help you in your time of need.  All I can say is what I consider to be the highest praise a Police Officer can receive, that is for another cop to say you are a dam good cop.  Brother you were a dam good cop.  Do a good job on the steets of heaven, one day we will all be together again.

May God Bless your family and give them the strength to carry on.

This is a poem my six year old daughter likes me to read to her. I am dedicating this poem to Cpl. Anderson Gordon who was in my police recruit class 88-B.

He is always standing there at the corner of the square; He is very big and fine and his silver buttons shine.

All the carts and taxi do everything he tells them to, and the little errand boys when they pass him make no noise.

Though I seem so very small I am not afraid at all; He and I are friends you see, And he always smiles at me.

Once I wasn't very good rather near to where he stood, But he never said a word though I'm sure he must have heard.

Nurse has a policeman too hers has brown eyes, mine has blue, hers is sometimes on a horse, but I like mine best of course.

It was a beautiful sunny day on Wednesday September 24, 1997 at about 1:00pm. And then,
"Officer Down" came over the radio. Anderson Gordon was murdered. I worked with Anderson on
1st shift for quite some time, he was quiet with most, but he always had a smile. And never an
unkind word. He will be missed by all who knew him. A piece of Montgomery died that day. I
can still see Anderson sitting on the bench in the back of the assembly room with his arms
stretched out on the back of the bench and a big smile on his face. God bless, see you when I
get to Heaven Anderson.

I am one of the the sisters of the late Cpl. Gordon III. My family struggles everyday with
the fact that Anderson is gone. Anderson was the kind of person that could see the good in
everyone no matter who they were. In May Anderson was there for my college graduation and in
July he gave me away at my wedding. Two months later my heart crumbled and life will never be
the same. Cpl. Gordon is also survived by his mother( Selena Brown Gordon), one brother(Anthony
(Inga) Gordon, five sisters (Brenda (Fred) Gray, Wanda (Cedric) Jordan, (Jacqueline giles),
(Sandra (Lyndell) Harris), and Sheila Gordon. He also leaves a son Jamon Lucas, and four
nephews Alexander Giles IV, Christopher Gordon, Anthony Gordon, Jr. and Gordon Gray. We all
miss Anderson dearly but our memories and love will remain FOREVER.

I was a member of the MPD from 1996-1998 and I was working the day Cpl. Anderson was murdered. I was only a few blocks away from Rosea Parks Ave when the call came out that a officer was down. Me and my partner responded as fast as we could and we chased down the thug that killed Anderson. I think about that day often, because I had a call with Cpl. Anderson earlier that morning and we laughed about stuff. May God continue to bless his family and all who wear the badge and protect the people of America.
