Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dear Clinton:
My reflection to you is long overdue, but nonetheless, I made a promise to each of you to have your own reflection from me, so here, sir, is the recognition I give to you;
America's first and last line of defense is her police officers. Anyone who doubts that, is a damn fool. Your dedication and sacrifice is to be remembered for all time, as we, your brother officers, will not accept anything less. Some say that the death of so many officers is a tragedy in of itself. Some Americans say that the carnage of 11 September 2001 taught us a nation, to open our eyes to the very real threat of death and mayhem by a group of sick fanatics. While that is all true, the larger event of that horrible day, is that in exchange for your life and that of all the rest, 25,000 innocent people were spared. In every horrible event, there is always a hero who comes out of nowhere to do the impossible. That hero, Clinton, is you. You were that bright sun of life bursting through the black clouds of death that day.
But my words of gratitude and pride in your behavior and sacrifice, is only words. The real reflection is that EVERY American, every peace loving person in the world, remember ALWAYS, what you did. I pray that those folks who were spared, now EARN, everyday, what you and all our fallen officers gave them...life. Earn it by doing something constructive, by helping to keep America safe and strong.
Rest in peace brother, our sacred blue line has held. May Almighty God hold you close to Him, and grant your family peace and comfort. We will forever be your debt. God Bless you, your family, our police officers, and God Bless America. Amen

There are but two persons who protect the sinful human race from destroying itself. One is God's Holy Spirit. The other is the Peace Officer. Without them, we would all perish at each other's hands.

You were called into this profession and our Lord and Savior has blessed you because:
According to Romans 13.1-5...
God ordains the Peace Officer’s profession.
The Peace Officer is sent by God.
The Peace Officer is vested with God's authority to enforce the law.
A Peace Officer's badge is to be honored by us, because God honors it.

You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for your fellow man, while serving, defending, and protecting others in your community.

Thank you for your service to America. Your efforts saved thousand that horrible day.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. You will be in our hearts forever.

I tried to attend as many funerals as I could during these darkest of days as my way of showing respect to families and coworkers of all of my brother and sister Officers and Firefighters. I cannot find the words to say how sorry I am that we have lost these great heroes. I cannot express my thanks enough for your bravery and sacrifice. My prayers are with you and all of your families......................AC

Shortly after the tragedies my mother purchased a bracelet at our church, ours with the name Clinton Davis. The purpose was to wear the bracelet and pray for that particular victim and their family as often as possible. For months I have said his name over and over in my head, and prayed for him, and the family that Clinton Davis has left behind. Until today, 8/23/02, I had no idea what he looked like. I found his picture on this web site, and am so happy to now also be able to picture his face. I thank Clinton Davis for giving his life. God bless his family, and may they have peace and rest in their hearts and always know that he died a hero.

My Prayers are with all the friends and family of all the officers who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
I lost my brother tragically, Det. David Taylor, Greensboro PD, On August 7, 2001. I was in NY for my fiancee's Mother's funeral the first of Sept. I was stranded there for 3 weeks due to this atrocity. As I watched the events on TV, I cried for all those who lost their lives. But was especially emotional about the Police Officers and the Firefighters and their families, as I had just recently suffered a tragic loss myself. As I walked through the streets in the days following the attack, I cried with pride as I saw the officers on duty on all the corners in the city. I knew how hard it was for them, knowing they had lost their friends. On the Sat. following the attack I was at St. Patrick's for mass. The last 2 people to go up and take communion were 2 NYPD officers, again I cried. I hope all of you are getting the support that my family and I got when we needed it, from the Deparment. I know the comforting words and even the funny stories the officers tell us about my brother helps. I know that our loved ones who are gone from here, had a higher calling and are happy and at peace in Heaven. Hopefully we can all feel that same peace one day! God bless All of you! And God bless America!

God I don't know what to say. I intend to post this message for each and everyone of you heroes so Officer, Detective, Agent, Whatever,... I thank you. You swore to serve and to protect. Well your days of protecting us are over. But you will forever be in service. Your eternal service... the inspiration you and your fellow bothers and sisters have re-enforced in my heart, will live so long as I do. Though I will not always carry your name in the front of my mind, not in my duties as a soldier or as the police officer I plan to become when I get home, I will still always carry with me the knowledge of your sacrifice... of your heroism, of your selflessness... I will carry a samll piece of you everywhere I go. Be it with an M-16 in my hands in a strange land, or a badge on my chest in my own back yard... long after the flags come down and the nation carries on... until the day I die... you will continue to serve... as my inspiration. God bless you. God bless your family. God bless your agency. God bless FDNY. God bless all the soldiers, sailors, airmen, coast guardsmen, and marines. God bless New York City. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Thank you my brothers and sisters. I love you.
