"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.

I see Top left a message or two, in one of them he states "I was thinking of you". we weren't best friends but I enjoyed our talks about DWIs and court testimony. I have to say not a DWI arrest has gone by that I did not think of you in some way. Thank you for taking the time to teach. God bless, I will never forget you.

Dear Jerry:
All that stands between our countrymen and danger here in the homeland, is the police. All that our countrymen can count on, is that terrorism is alive still, and that their police are still going to be here for them. Even today, a plot to kill Americans was uncovered in Illinois. But thanks to your sacrifice and that of all our other brothers, this plot was uncovered. Why, because of you and the others? Because of the enormous sacrifice you made on 11 September 2001, you helped open the eyes of so many people to the very real threat of terrorists to our way of life. Your sacrifice has helped to make our country stronger and more alert.
What you did by running into that building, can only be compared to the acts of a true hero. And you are. I realize that no words, memorial, reflection, or even medals can ever truly be even close to repaying you for your professionalism and sacrifice, save one: that as a direct result of your actions, a large number of innocent people are alive today.
My promise I made to you and all the rest, is now being fulfilled...to write a reflection to you in your honor and spirit. My prayer this Christmas season, is that your family know that others still remember, and ALWAYS will. Their sacrifice has been an enormous one as well.
Thank you for all you did. May our Father in Heaven hold you close to Him, and keep watch over your family. Amen
