Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

God bless those that have given the ultimate sacrifice.

The Badge

- It is polished and shiny and looks so fine.
Once you earn it you have to tow the line.
- The minute you wear it upon your chest
it becomes a symbol that you are the best.
- It means honesty, integrity, and fairness to all.
Your life is never your own, but at the publics call.
- Night or day, any hour, it makes you a mark.
It doesn't protect you from a shot in the dark.
- Over the years the shine starts to fade,
but brighter still is the man its made.
- It is often what seperates you from the crowd.
It is a second family of which you are proud.
- So now comes your time, you can't be denied.
When you pin on your badge, wear it with pride
- The minute you wear it upon your chest
it becomes a symbol that you are the best.

God Bless Officer Metzler. Another brother in blue taken from us. May you rest in peace.

Danville Police Dept. Danville VA.

Yet another Lone Star has been taken from us. Texas, as well as the Law Enforcement community as a whole has suffered another needless loss. All Officer Metzler was doing was his duty. He pledged that he would serve and protect, and that he has done. He has given all that ever could be asked. Yet another brave soul taken away by a drunk coward.
God Bless you Officer Metzler and the rest of the Dallas Police Department, as well as Officer Metzlers family. You are in our thoughts and prayers down here in Galveston county.
May your memory be a guide to all those wearing the badge.

To the Metzler family and Patrick's brothers & sisters in blue,

Your world is torn, turned upside down and foggy. I know and it breaks my heart that you have to go through this as I have. I will soon be there and hope to help in some way. May Patrick rest in peace knowing that our God will rain down peace and comfort to all of you. Only God knows why Patrick had to go, but He never leaves us uncomforted. You are all in my prayers. May these unnecessary explosions end soon! It is my mission to make sure just that occurs and I promise you all I will do everything I can. God bless you and keep you.
