To the family and loved ones of Officer Thomas Langone and his fellow officers with the New York City Police Department and most especially to Thomas:

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. Your family had to endure losing two beloved heroes and how I wish they had not had to endure this tragedy.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect and gratitude for the distinquished service Thomas gave to his community and country, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 11, 2001.

Tom:
Let me say first off, that as a former resident of New York, residing in Yonkers, I always admired the NYPD for their professionalism and dedication. Secondly, for the last 27 years, I have been a law enforcement officer in the State of Florida, 25 of those years here as a Deputy Sheriff and Detective. The type of courage you displayed by deliberately putting yourself in harm's way to save others, only enhances what I stated about the NYPD.
You, and all who made the supreme sacrifice that horrible day, will NEVER be forgotten. Your actions, and those of others, has made us all proud to wear the badge. Though the animals who designed that attack were successful in killing thousands of innocent lives, they will NEVER be successful in diminishing our dedication to protect our fellow Americans, and our resolve to bring to justice any and ALL terrorists, foreign or domestic.
My prayer for your family, Tom, is that God grant them peace in their heart to know that they have made such a sacrifice on the alter of freedom, by losing not one, but two sons, and that we, as law enforcement officers and fellow Americans, would do well to always remember freedom isn't free. And to you Tom, may our Lord walk with you as you patrol the streets of heaven, knowing you have done your job, and did it well. God bless you, police officers everywhere, and God Bless America.

I will never forget that day. Wathing the television and seeing the devastation. I remember vividly watching and thinking my God all those policeman and firefighters. I had family there as well. They survived.
I had to do something so I did what I could. I volunteered at the morgue representing an out of state agency. I will remember every day of my life all the flagged draped stretchers brought into the morgue and thinking my God look at all the policeman and firefighters.
I see you all in my dreams quite often. I remember you all everyday and think about that day everyday. You are all heroes and are my inspiration to lace up my boots! I only hope and pray that I can be half the officer you are. Rest in peace.

A brother who remembers.

"Now I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name writeten that no one knew exept himself.
He was clothed witha robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." -- Revelation 19:11.
May God bless you and the sacrafice of all of our brothers and sisters who committ ourselves everyday to the safety and security of our streets, towns, and cities. You are not and will never be forgotten. As one said before I left this Reflection ... An army is coming, God's new army. And you, my fallen brother, are a part of it. I'll be seeing you ... but not just yet. There is much work left to be done. Watch over me and all in our profession. Give us guidence and protection. Rest in peace fallen brother.

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.

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!

On Dec. 17,01, I received a Mercy Band bearing the name of Thomas Langone...I pulled up the ODMP web site to put a face to the name not realizing the impact it was going to have on me. I am at a loss for words except to say Thomas Langone will not be forgotten, his face is burned into my heart and his family will be in my prayers each and every day...GOD BLESS THE USA

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!
