I saw the Heavens open up.
The Earth shook with fear.
For Evil, knew of God's Army.

They were Hero's, men on steel horses.

Cpl. James J. Crawford
Lower Providence Twp Police, Montg. Co. PA.

Keith was truly a great man. Keith made me laugh everytime I saw him. He truly cared about other officers and always tried to keep me safe when we rode together. He we always be missed.

Officer Jason Robles

It is special men like your loved one that make The United States of America truely great.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER FAR AWAY.................

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.

Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.

They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.

Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.

So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.

I am deeply saddened to hear about the loss of a brother motor officer. Our job is very complex ranging from the routine riding to the multi-tasking on the various types of details. Almost daily we all experience those "close calls" and wonder how we survived. For whatever reason GOD has called upon you and needs your assistance. Serve him well as you have served us. May GOD give you a special set of winged-wheels so that you may ride freely through Heaven. My heart goes out to your family and friends. GOD BLESS.
