Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dear Robert:
After 5 years have passed, I still, (and ALWAYS will) think of you and all our brothers, who made such a sacrifice to save others. Your sacrifice is a testimony to all enemies of our great nation, foreign and domestic, that we will NEVER go quiet into that good night. Your sacrifice is a testimony to all people everywhere, that police officers would do WHATEVER it takes to save lives.
It is my intention, Robert, to write a reflection to every one of my fallen brothers who gave all they had that terrible day. It is one small way for me to give the respect and gratitude to those of you who so richly deserve it. You did, what most people cannot understand...to put yourself in extreme danger to save the lives of others. To protect those who cannot protect themselves. Robert, you epitomize what a police officer is, and set an example for others to emulate.
Although we cannot see you or touch you, you ARE and ALWAYS will be, forever in our minds, hearts, and words. "Man knows no greater love, than one who is willing to lay down his life for another". You have made all of us who have taken that oath, proud. And to our enemies who seek to destroy our country and our way of life, you will NEVER deter us. Not as long as our country has police officers such as Robert Fazio.
May God grant you family peace and comfort. Rest in peace brother as you patrol Heaven. You did your time in hell. Amen.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.

A part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.

Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but God calls us all one by one, the chain will link again.

A million times we've needed you,
a million times we've cried.
If love could have only saved you,
you never would have died.

The Lord be with you and May you Rest in Peace.

It has been five years, tomorrow that you gave your life, when others were in need. Your a true hero and you will never forgotten!

Rob and I came from the same neighborhood, were in the same grade and attended the same schools. He was always kind to everyone and never disrespected anyone. When I came back to be with my family after 9/11 it broke my heart to hear of his death. He will always be a hero to me. There will always be a hole in my heart from his loss. I put his picture in Penn Station in January. My love and prayers to his family. I miss you my South Hempstead paison.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Officer Fazio. I think a lot about the officers of the New York Police Department and their bravery on September 11th 2001. You will never be forgotten. I hope to one day visit your great city and visit the area where the World Trade Centers stood. To the Officers of the NYPD and other agencies who perished through a bunch of cowards as a Tulsa Police Reserve Officer I'm always thinking about the bravery you guys possess, and we will never forget. Pass along my thoughts and prayers to the FDNY for their bravery for going into the Towers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. YOU DESERVE TO BE CALLED HEROS. GOD BLESS MY BROTHERS WHO WEAR THE BADGE FOR THE NYPD.

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.

Recruit Don Reichhardt
60th Crater Criminal Justice Academy
Prince George, Va.

Officer Don Reichhardt
Virginia State University Police Department

It was late one Tuesday evening,
Before a mother could sit down,
To tell her only child about
The terror that hit downtown.

She looked into the eyes of her son
God, she loved him so,
She felt her heart begin to break
And the hurt begin to show.

She gathered all her strength and courage,
as her story she began to tell.
"Baby don't cry, but I'm afraid daddy
Might be under a building that fell."

The boy looked back at his mother,
His eyes made not one blink.
And the mother's tears began to fall.
What would her baby think?

You see, his dad is a Policeman,
And his hero from the day of his birth.
He loved his dad more than anything else
That could ever inherit this earth.

The mother's head began to drop,
Her forehead resting on palm.
She thought her son would be upset.
Instead, he was very calm.

The boy leaned over towards his mom,
And put his hand upon her head.
In her ear he began to whisper,
And this is what he said:

"Mommy please don't cry,
I knew daddy wasn't coming home.
I talked to him just a while ago,
But it wasn't on the phone.

He told me that he loved me,
And he promised we'd meet again.
He told of his new home,
And the job he was to begin."

"God is building an army,
And there are many angels needed.
That, is where daddy and the others went.
They weren't all defeated."

It was then, the mother lifted her head.
The tears streamed down her face.
And she could feel her husband's presence,
As it filled her heart with grace.

It was then she knew her son was right.
He was in God's great army now.
She also knew her son was safe,
That he'd be kept from harm somehow.

So, evildoers of the world beware.
An army is on the way.
Bolstered by new angels,
Who left the towers that day..

Their commander has never been beaten.
His power has never been matched,
And if evil thinks He was almighty before......
Well, the surface has just been scratched!

9-11-02 - 1 year anniversary
We will NEVER forget!
GOD BLESS!

To the family and friends of Officer Robert Fazio.
It is a small thing but a few monthes I sent away for a bracelet honoring the heros of 9/11. Robert's name and 13th PCT are on my bracelet. Since the day I recieved it it has not nor will it ever leave my right wrist. It reminds me everyday of how he gave everything for his community and his nation. Even though I never knew you Robert, I think every day of your bravery and sacrifice. Thank you for what you did for all of us. The word hero is thrown around way too much. YOU are a hero.

Your death will be avenged and your heroism, bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten!

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!
