Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

For some reason we decided to switch parishes about a year and a half ago. After being there only a couple of weeks we began to meet the other parishoners and there was one family in particular that I was drawn to and they were very open to us. Great family. I did not get to know them well but were knew each other by first name, and are even in some of the same groups. The dad is a joker and a truely wonderful, giving man. About 3 weeks ago someone said something about the man's son. The son had passed away very young and I think it may have been the son's birthday. The son was Phil. I told him who I was and he just smiled and teared up. He said what I believe to be true, things happen for a reason. For some reason people are bought together on their jouney and when their journey on earth ends, they will all celebrate together in heaven.

To our Heros and thier families. I was standing at the back door of Physicians Immediate Care Center, on break while I watched all the colors fly in that day. I heard about what happend to you and your partner. I stood and sobbed at the silence around me, so many, from so far, but so silent. I want to thank you Corporal James Brian Moulson and your younger comrad Anderson also. I worked in the medical field quit a few years. I took the oath of Hypocrates before I new I had to take it, did CPR with no amneo bag on site, yes first week out, before I even graduated. I have a Father whom I dont know well, but he searved most of his life, respected but never realy knew him. The reason I wanted to write this was to let you know that a young Sheriff saved my life when I was just 14 years old. I was running around with the wrong crowd and someone gave me a hit of acid,,I had no clue what it was, anyway, a Sherrif in Stanislaus County, found me sitting right next to some railroad tracks and the 9pm whistle was blowing and apparently headed straight for me, he saved my life that night, went out of his jursistiction to get me home safley. Yes, I love deputy dog, my favorite cartoon growing up!

I bowed my head in silence that day of your memorials and sobbed. Ive dedicated my life to putting others needs above my own. I know the long hours, pain, disappointments in injuctice just as well. I have two beautiful, sweet boys both adopted from Idaho. Their Father recently died from Leukhemia. I went thru a living hell before we got those boys, and my heart broke in two for you wife that day. I loved working in the medical field, we worked hard a PICC, 12 shifts, 4 on 3 off rotating, no holidays, overtime, sicktime, vacation time, never left for lunch, worked like a firehouse, payed well, but I missed the first few years with my precious sons. I will never forget that day of silence, my co worker, when I came back from wittnessing the procession, smartly said to me, "well that memorial across the street is ok, but why dont they do that for Doctors"? I said, well, I dont see many of them laying down their lives for thier friends, but the ones that are true to thier calling, should be honored in such a way. So, the drugs Sir that you stopped that night, your family may never now the impact it had on someone elses life, but when we are all dancing on the streets of Gold together, we will all know the tremendous effect one random act of kindness, love and sacrafice could have on thousands, and thousands of people. I moved from Idaho a few years back. I was born in CA, but only by mistake. I pray Lord Father, blessings upon blessings on these young men and their families, and all the lives they touched along the journey home. God Bless you all............Phyllis D. Miller

Dear Son
Today would have been your 38th birthday.
I miss your hugs and laughter so much. You
will forever have a place in my heart.
You walked the thin blue line and you
walked it proudly.

Forever Love Mom

To read about you again and the way you died is so
sickening. Such is the nature of sin. You deserved so much more for all you gave for everyone else. I could
cry a river over all the fun things you have missed in
not being there to watch Derek grow. What a lonely
road for your wife, too. May God continue to guide
and direct their paths and heal their broken places.
Thank you for your sacrifice and service.

Hi Moulson!

Can't believe it's been 7 years! I want you to know that I think about you daily. I have your and Phils pictures hangig up and see them every day. I was just getting to know you a little better after a few years of working together. I want you to know that I miss you. I learned so much from you and Phil and there has always been a sorrowful void, but happy memories. You were one of the best!

"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.

They are celebrating the life of Mark Stall today. It is the 10th anniversary of his death. It made me think of you. You have been gone nearly 7 years. It sure does not seem like that long. A friend of mine was at the wall in D.C. last month and she visited you. She called me while she was there to find out where your name was. I can only imagine how it has grown. There are now names of other officer I have known on that well. Her husband is a K-9 handler too. She understands.

Jim,

Hey Jim, it's me Kris...we used to work at KBF together...back in the day. I'll never forget where I was when I heard that you had been killed in the line of duty. I was at work watching a training tape like we always do before hitting the street. I remember hearing your name then feeling my jaw drop as I learned what had happened to you and your partner. I told the guy I was sitting next to, "Hey, I know that guy...we used to work together at KBF." Then my mind started thinking about the family you had left behind and wondering how they were doing. I knew your wife Amy too....we played softball together, we had a lot of good times. Jim, you are missed by everyone who knew you. You were always so friendly and fun to hang out with. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice. You will never be forgotten. Amy, if you read this, I have Jim's KBF badge. I got it after he left. If you'd like it for Derek, get ahold of me through my police department.

God Bless,
Kris

Jim-
We were out in the middle of nowhere really working a couple weeks ago and another officer noticed a flag flying. It was a nleomf flag. It seemed odd to see it out there where we were. I have never seen another flying especially in that area. Two days later at mass the offering psalm was Eagles Wings. You were there with us. My heart felt pretty happy. Thanks you. Later mister.

Amy, I met you my first year at Police Week in DC. I wanted to tell you hello and say that I still think of you from time to time. That first year left such an impact on me, and I will never forget the other survivors I met. I hope you are doing well, as well as your son. Take care.

As an officer, the worst thing you could ever hear over the radio is ‘officer down’
When you hear thoughts words your heart stops, you panic. The only thing you can
Do is try to get to your fallen brother as fast as you can. Because that’s what you are
When you become a cop, a brother, and a part of a big family. And on Wednesday,
January 3, 2001 the members of the Jerome county sheriffs office lost a friend
And Lost a brother

We will always remember you

Jim,

It has been awhile since I have left a reflection. In nine days it will be our son's 5th birthday. I can't believe he is already turning five. I signed him up for T-ball today. His first year to play. Oh, how I wish you were here to watch him and see him grow. Yesterday he told me he wants to go fishing. Your favorite thing to do. I just thought how you would love to teach him how to fish for the first time. He looks like you still too. At night I watch him sleep and he looks just like you did when you slept, and it still brings tears to my eyes. He is turning into being such a sweet little boy. He is everything to me and I thank God before you left me that we did have Derek. He has brought such joy to my life.

I still think about you and us daily Jim. It has been four years now. I can't believe it has been four years. Even though I have moved on with my life I still love you and miss you, and think what life could have been for us if you had never left. Keep watching over us Jim.

Love you, Amy

Jimmy,
Its been 4 years and I think about you everyday. The times at KBF and the antics we got into, you were like a brother to me, I am a better man for knowing you. One day when I meet your son I will tell him that you followed your dream in Idaho and made it a safer place for him.

Take care
