To the family and loved ones of Officer Jerome Dominguez and his fellow officers with the New York City Police Department and most especially to Jerome:
Mere words seem insignificant to honor your heroism and courage which will never be forgotten. On this the fifth anniversary month of the tragic devastation wreaked upon our nation, those brave men and women who lost their lives safeguarding others are remembered and revered.
May your spirit continue to soar and your memory continue to inspire.
This reflection is sent with the utmost respect and gratitude for the distinquished service Jerome gave to his community and country, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 11, 2001.

Jerome,
I'll be heading back to the DA's office soon. To the same desk we last sat at eating sushi and laughing at the story the latest perp told us about how he didn't do it. The thing is, there's a lot more perps and we still need to catch them and they'll still tell the same lies. So, if you wouldn't mind checking in every now and then just to make sure that I'm doing my job the way you taught me, I'd appreciate it.
The Jarhead.

Officer Dominguez, thank you for your service and dedication. You will be missed and never forgotten. May your family, fiancée, and everyone who loves you stay strong in the memories and love you shared with them.
I lost my fiancée, Scott Stewart, in August of 2002. There not a day that goes by without him in my heart and mind. I understand the pain your fiancee must feel from being ripped from you to soon. The support and love from others who know my pain have helped tremendously.
To your fiancee, if you ever feel the need to reach out to others who know your pain, please contact me and other s/o’s. A search on yah groups will bring you to us. Just enter the below as it is.
Always remember as long as your heart beats Jerome will be with you. He’s there everyday in your heart.
Hugs,
Monica

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.

Music I heard with you was more than music,
and bread I broke with you was more than bread.
Now that I am without you, all is desolate
all that was once so beautifull, is dead.
Your hands once touched this silver,
and I have seen your fingers hold this glass
these things do not remember you Beloved,
and yet your touch upon them will not pass.
For it was in my heart you moved among them
and blessed them with your hands
and with your eyes
and in my heart they will remember always
they knew you once
oh beautifull and wise.
I dream of you now
in the Palace halls of Heaven,
where Kings sit beside Warriors,
and talk of days gone by
where they bid you take your place beside them
where you wait for us to be together once more.
I love you as I always have
as I did before we met
as I will when I am with you again.

I will never be able to accurately describe how I feel about the losses that the NYPD and the FDNY suffered on 09/11. Just know that Police Departments all over the U.S. are still feeling your losses. We will go on and continue the fight in your HONOR. Rest easy brothers.

whilst at the NYPD museum in manhattan i was touched by the bravery of the officers of that fateful day in 2001.
God Bless you all .

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!

I have known Jerry since he came to Highway Patrol #1 as a rookie.....he was the hardest, most dedicated cop there. and then all of a sudden he had enough of Hwy and wanted to move on to E.S.U., and he immediately made a great impression on everyone in Emergency. Jerry I thank God for having been lucky enough to have known you and it was truly a pleasure working w/ you, you could always be counted on for a little "extra" when necessary. As we always said "SEE YOU AT THE BIG ONE" well we had the big one and I didn't get to see you that day, but I did look for you everyday there after. I and we all will miss you dearly...you will NEVER be forgotten, and I "WILL SEE YOU AT THE BIG ONE" in heaven......give 'em HELL Jerry and take care of everyone else up there who needs your help

I remember "Operation Sandman" and "Operation Littleman".
I remember the day you graduated ESU STS and how honored I was to share in your proudest moment.
