Reflections for Police Officer John Edward Logan
Hey John, Dennis Miller here, i was sitting here in my unit thinking of how proud we are of you and how no one ever thought that you and I would be officers but look at us,You are my hero for giving that last call to duty i think of you everytime i am in that fighting situation and never know what the outcome may be, as long as everyone else is safe i am ok with my fate as you where.
Brother i sit here and read the things that your son writes about you and the letters to you, you are a great role model and you have wonderful children. Allthough i have not seen your mom and Scotty and Jaimie in years i still pray for them and the pain that i know they still have in their heart every night.
You have another brother in blue up there with you by the name of Alan Inzer, he also was a great man and hero, yall get together and watch over all that we do down here, we can never have too many angels on our side.
I am going to shut up now so until next time I LOVE YOU BROTHER.....if any of your familyt wants to contact me my e-mail is [email protected]

Dear John,
I still think of you so often--- You are one of a kind, and I will always love you. Because of you, my respect for police officers is unsurpassed.

I sometimes hear your number late at night when its quiet around 3 am. I can still hear you running traffic. That is a sign that you were awesome at your job and are still doing it above. Miss you terribly.

John, I was sitting here, thinking about you and I wanted you to know that we all love and miss you very much. I got to spend some time with Jareb and Cameron on Father's Day and they are such beautiful boys inside and out. I know you were watching from above. Kyler was there also and he is a beautiful boy also. Please know that we think of you and Flipper everyday.

"This is my shield.
I bear it before me into battle,
but it is not mine alone.
It protects my brother on my left.
It protects my city.
I will never let my brother
out of its shadow
nor my city out of its shelter.
I will die with my shield before me
facing the enemy."
From the book "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield

Not a day passes that I don't think about John Logan and his family. I have cried many many tears because I know the sadness you and your family must feel. I never met John or any one in his family, but he and his family saved my brother-in-law's life... and for that I am forever grateful. I am truly sad that he passed as I know you are too, but please take a little solice knowing that he saved another with his choice to Donate Life.

Jareb-
I knew your Dad very well-- He was a kind, sincere and loving man. He was a loyal friend and an incredibly dedicated police officer. But number one, he was a proud father and he was so crazy about his sons. He talked about you so often and had such high hopes for your future. I met you two times, and I was impressed by you; You are like your Dad in so many ways. I pray for you, Jareb, and hurt for your loss. As much as I miss John, your pain is unimaginable to me. To lose a Dad at such a young age is a terrible thing. But you must know that he is still with you and still looking after you, and certainly will always be proud of you. You are so brave. God bless.

Just wanted to let you and your family know that we are thinking about them and keeping them in our prayers. Everyday is hard some are just harder than others, we will remember all of your family and you on this day, we will never forget the sacrifice you made and the sacrifice your family has to endure without you here. Officer John Logan you are a true hero, thank you for you service.
Look Clint up for me and let him know we still miss him everyday. I know that you both are watching over your families and we sure enjoy all the little signs, keep them coming.

"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.

Hey John, I haven't left a refrection for you in awhile. It doesn't mean that I forgot you. I think about you and after all this time, I still can't make sense of this. You are so loved and missed by everyone. I went to the COPS Christmas party in Alexandria and I was so proud but still sad to stand and tell everyone who I was there to honor. You are and will always be my HERO!! I love you!!

I wish to give my honor and respect to you and your family. I met your mother in a local coffe shop. I see in her as well as your son's messages that you are loved.
Jareb you honor your father by wanting to follow in his foot steps.
May God bless you and watch over your loved ones.
