"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.

My heart goes out to your family. You’re in our thoughts and our prayers.

Officer Filfred, in protecting the Navajo nation,you rescued us, saved our possessions, our lives and our families. You are one of the rare heroes among us. You were always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we called, we just expected that you would come and do whatever it took to help us, and you always met our expectations. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring.

This world, this country, your community and the Navajo nation truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Officer Filfred. I am humbled by your valor, courage, and dedication. I am so sorry your life was taken from you at such a young age when you had a lifetime ahead of you. How your parents and loved ones must miss you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Winsonfred gave to his community and the people of the Navajo nation, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on April 2, 1999.

ITS BEEN A LONG TIME BROTHER...YOU LEFT SO QUICKLY..I MISS YOU VERY MUCH..I KNOW YOU STILL LOOK DOWN ON ME AND GUIDE ME..WE ALL MISS YOU..ITS A VOID WE CAN NOT FILL..TAKE CARE BROTHER..SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE..MUCH LOVE.. MIKE SALAZAR..4/9/02

Even though I never met him, I heard he was a well respected officer, who liked doing the duties we never wanted to do. They work so hard protecting our tribal lands from illegal bootlegging, drugs and the other criminal elements, Sometimes responding 50 or 60 miles out in the middle of no where, without back up to answer our calls. I wish there were more like him and I respect these officers greatly protecting our Navajo Nation. We'll miss you greatly, as with the other officers who lost their lives protecting our great indian nations.
