Reflections for Military Police Officer James Thomas Sakofsky

While most of us are tucked nice and neat in our warm beds, many of our Brave soliders are losing their lives on our behalf. Thank you for your service and for protecting us while we sleep.

James,
Though I had not seen you while you were in the military I can see you had not changed. Everyone who speaks about you says how kind you were. Your heart was filled with love for anyone who was in need. Sometimes I still cant believe that you are gone. It feels like yesterday we were a bunch of teenagers walking around town just trying to find something to do. Now most our lives are so busy we long to have those days back. I think most of all we long to have you back. I wondered why god would take you from us when you had so much love to give down here. Then I realized, if anyone is going to be up there watching our back there is no better man for the job. You were a great friend who grew into a wonderful man. May your heart shine down on us forever.
Until we meet again dear friend.

Brother James,
We served together at Campbell, and as Joisey boys we were extremely close. I hope you are doing well up there in Heaven and looking down upon us and smiling because you are in a better place. God bless you brother and I have not and will not ever forget about you.

I was an MP with you in Kosovo as part of the 716th MP BN, but never had the chance to meet you in life. Your accident was tragic, but yet at the same time a wake-up call as to what could happen. May you rest in peace and know that we'll take over down here.

James,

My brother. We served together for 2 years. I come across pictures of us on occation and remember things such as MGD and Austin Powers. I recieved news of your death and was saddend to the very depths of my heart. I still think about you after all these years and will continue to until we meet again. I photographed your headstone at ANC and keep the picture with me in my patrol car. I visit your grave everytime I get to ANC. I miss you still and can not wait to see you again my friend. May God keep you close until we meet again.

On behalf of the military police corps we would like to say " at ease soldier well done'. goodbye officer sakofsky. may you rest in peace. As a tai I see the dangers of a traffic accident and it has brought me a new respect for how and where I travel. As a mp we put at least 200 to 300 miles on the patrol cars a week 24hrs 7 days. It is a shame that a promising future for this fine soldier has been striped away,our hearts go out to his family and friends.

To the family of Military Police Officer Sakofsky my heart goes out to you.

As a former MP for 5 years I know the dangers an MP faces here at home and while deployed for his country. His sacrifice will not be forgotten.

I wish to express my condolances to the family of MP Sakofsky. The loss of a family member while stationed overseas is extremly hard. I am currently deployed in Kosovo and I also 3 days ago almost lost my life in some of the extreme mountain terrain that we are required to drive. Your loss may save future personnel. As I will constantly remind personnel of the dangerous conditions here. Again I am sorry for your loss.

What a tragic loss. I lost an MP in 99 to a traffic accident.
This is a sad reminder that being an MP is a dangerous job in peacetime or war.

Know that all of us in the MP Corps and law enforcement share in the loss. God Bless his family and colleagues.

He now patrols the streets of heaven with St. Michael.

Carry on soldier and thanks from an old MP "top". Of the troops and for the troops!

I would like to take this time to reflect on how dangerous a MP's life can be. I myself am an MP in Maryland right now. I like to look at this from time to time, because it will bring you back to earth as to what can happen. I plan on going into civilan law enforcement when I get out of the military, and will still grieve the loss of law enforcement officers, both military and civilian.
