I read about this event at the time it happened.

All these years pass that even I cannot erase this memory.

Hi bro,

I miss you very much bro. In deuteronomy 6:5 love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. But, since you are gone I am not able to love God the way i should, I am still angry at God for letting those bandit take you away from us the way they did.Since your depart there is no love, light, peace, smile, to make things seem more worthwhilee; only turmoils and darkness.One of your brother wrote a beautiful poem for you, I would like to send a special thanks to Sergent David L, Bell for the badge poem.
Thank you
love your sister Karene N. Benoit

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Let me 1st offer my condolences to the families of Detectives James Nomorin & Rodney Andrews; I did not know these two officers, but like many New Yorkers my heart broke when I heard the news. I have been living in Orlando Fl. for the past 5 yrs but even though I may be down here my heart is still in New York. I would just like to take the oppurtunity to thank both officers as they made the ultimate sacrifice in an attempt to make the streets safer for us and our children. May the two of you rest in Eternal Peace...

May all who read this page never forget what heroes like you, who have worn the uniform, and your family have sacrificed so that others can sleep soundly. May your family lie their heads down peacefully every night knowing that they have you protecting them from above, and us protecting them down here.

Hi Uncle Jimmy! Hope your doing good and I know your watching over Us right now. Just wanted to say we're very proud and love you very much. There's not a day that goes by that we don't think of you. I hope that SOB rots, suffers, and feels what we're going through without you. Especially, what him and his family feel toward ours. I will always remember you and the way you we're to me as my uncle. You were always playing games and tricks on me. That made me laugh and very happy, but now it's hard but I'm trying my best. I Love You Uncle Jimmy!! ;-(

It was heartening to see that the community you and Rod gave your life to protect stood beside you both yesterday. They repaid your sacrifice with justice.
God Bless you both. You will be in our prayers.

Hi big brother:
It has been three years since you were tragically taken from your Mom, Dad, sisters,brothers and cousins. Tichoue,
"there are some things in life that all you can do with them is bear them".
But "bearing" them is easier if we can make some sense of the tragedy. During the early months after your death the grief was constant and overwhelming and goes on for weeks, perhaps even months. I couldn't beleive that you were gone, and I will never see you again. I asked God a lot of questions I was so angry at him. I stopped praying and going to church. Recently I start reading my Bible again and I read a scripture in Second Corinthians 1:3-4 reads,"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord , The Father of compassion and theGod of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." I am convinced that God can and will bring his good out of any situation we give to him. Your death taught me the value of laughter and the preciousness of a big brother. Now I cling to the lord and try not to give in the pain of the loss. This world is not the end. I will see you again. And may we all be able to cling to that biblical hope. I miss you james.

love your little sister Karene N Benoit

To Detective James Nemorin, his loved ones and fellow officers with the New York City Police Dept.:

On this the third anniversary week of your tragic death, please know that your memory is honored and revered today.

My heart goes out to your family. You’re in our thoughts and our prayers.

To the Dept: To have two officers brutally murdered under those circumstances must have caused unbelievable pain and anger. I am so sorry for this tremendous loss.

James, you rescued us, saved our possessions, our lives and our families. You are one of the rare heroes among us. You were always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we called, we just expected that you would come and do whatever it took to help us, and you always met our expectations. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Detective James Nemorin.
I am humbled by your valor and courage.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the many years of distinquished service Kenneth gave to his community and the citizens of New York, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 10, 2003.
