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.

This is a sad time for all of us especially the family and comrades of this officer. I have lost some friends in the line of duty since I have been a deputy and it never gets easier. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your time of sorrow.

Patrolman Rick Goforth
Shelby Co. Sheriff's Office

I am very honored to have served with Mike as a Motor Officer at Reno Police Dept. Words cannot express the sorrow felt by myself and family at the tragic loss of a brother. I could always count on Mike to make me laugh and sometimes have to try and figure out if he was "messing" with me (in a good way) :) or if he was serious......with the "messing" portion always being the outcome. My family and I pass on our deepest sympathy and prayers to Mike's family and I will never forget the time I was priviledged to have known and served as a Reno Police Officer with Officer Mike Scofield. You will be sorely missed by many.......God Bless, Officer Steve Mussell and Family

Thank you, Officer Scofield, you are a Hero to all ...

To Officer Scofield's Wife and Children,

Please know you are in my prayers and thoughts daily. Our husbands died doing what they loved the most....helping others and being Motorcycle Police Officers-a breed of their own. For our children they will always be heros, for us, they will always hold special memories in our hearts.

I will continue to pray for you and your children that you may find peace and comfort in days to come.
