Marshal McCallum, Sir it made me very upset to read that your killer was pardoned by the governor of the state you served after only ten years, so I did a little research and I thought I would honor your bravery and sacrafice by posting the name of that disgraceful self-serving politician. His name was Carl E. Bailey and he was the 31st governor of Arkansas from January 1937 until January 1941. Let history record his name in the archives of shame and dishonor. RIP Marshal McCallum and thank you for giving everything to serve others and keep them out of harm's way.

My first assignment in 1979 was Lake Village. It is a great place with great people. The Police Department is a good one whom always welcomed me as well protect the people. I suspect you were part of the reason the department is a great one. God bless you and your family.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 82nd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

Marshal McCallum,
On today, the 80th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Lake Village. I agree with the previous post about the pardoning of your killer. I don't know what sickens me more-your murderer only serving 10 years of the POS politician that pardoned him.

On the upcoming anniversary of your death, we remember you and thank you Sir for your service.

In this writers opinion your killer should never have been pardoned

"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.
