Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hi David,

Well, it's been eight years since I've heard you say to me: Hi, Mr. T. You were my son's (Randy) Best Man and companion. I know you're looking down at all of us fragile folks and pray for us. I miss our talks about your pepper trees and fishing trips. I look forward to seeing you again. Love, Dave, Irene, and Randy.

This tragic day will forever be engraved in my memory.On my way home,I recall driving upon this devastating event. Everyday that my husband walks out the door,I pray he comes home. I reflect on Deputy March,and that heartbreaking, senseless, taking of his life. When I hear the garage door open, I thank God for giving another day with my husband and beg for more.

D/S March, Sir Thank You for your service. You were a credit to your family and your department. Looking at your picture I see someone who loved life and loved his job. Those who put the uniform on every day/night and hit the streets are our TRUE HERO's! The monster that took your life will pay, in Hell! Every LEO who has lost their life or been crippled by these senseless acts will never be forgotten! GOD BLESS your FAMILY and Rest In Peace!

Deputy March,

Deputy March:

I watched a replay of The Academy last night and once again watched your memorial service after the colors run. Hearing the pipes play Amazing Grace always brings a chill to my body and tears to my eyes. I write to you today, to let you know that you will always be remembered as a Hero to many, especially to new recruits and rookies like myself. Observing the dedication so many people have for fallen officers, and the brotherhood that we share as a family (even if it is across the country), makes me feel proud to wear the badge.

Thank You Sir for your service and dedication to your community and country. Rest In Piece. We'll take it from here!

Like another Reflection here, I saw the episode of The Academy (a replay) that featured their tribute to your sacrifice. When the Class was at the location of where you were shot, their emotions were so evident on their faces. Your loss made everything real to them. This isn't an ordinary job. When we go to work every day, we may not come back to the ones we love. They will remember that and it will make them better officers because of it.
Their solemn respect for you, someone they never knew proves once again that we NEVER forget our fallen brothers and sisters. Rest in peace Deputy, and watch over the rest of us.

Deputy March and family,

Tonight I wacthed the show The Academy where Class #355 did the colors run. As I sat here and watched it I had tears running down my face. Seeing your father and wife talk to the class had to be hard. They were very strong and proud of the class for what they did. It reminds me of the day we lost an officer to a traffic stop here. You and your family will always be in my heart. Rest in peace Deputy March. Thank you for your service.

I can't believe another year gone by. That day is crystal clear in my mind. I remember I was on my home. Only to drive upon such a devastating event. My husband wears the same uniform. That day has forever changed me. It breaks my heart every time I drive by your memorial. Too many good men lost. Another hero gone.

You have such a beautiful smile and have so much to smile about! Your killer
was captured with your own handcuffs. YES!! He was brought to justice and
will serve the rest of his life behind bars. YES!! Your parents and wife never
gave up hope of finding your killer and having him extradited. YES!! You
are living a beautiful life with the Lord whom you accepted before you had to
meet Him face to face. YES. YES. YES.
I didn't know you in this life, but look forward to meeting you in the next. YES!

Another sad anniversary is about to arrive. Can't help but think about that day. If only it could have been someone else you pulled over. I will never forget you and your kindness.

I also saw "The Academy." I did alright until the pipes started playing "Amazing Grace." I've been to way too many funerals for Officers, and I had to walk out of the room. My wife was curious why a song affected me, so we came on this site, and after I showed her the people that I knew, I wanted to learn more about Dep. March. Godspeed, sir, we have the watch from here.
