"Our Fallen Brother"
As I held him close, I began to cry
Wondering and hoping our friend would never die
I could see the whites of his eyes, as he held me tight
The wind whisked through his hair, as we saw the light
He cried no more as we fell to the ground
His one single tear, would never be found
Cry not my friend God will take you home
The Angels in Heaven will not be alone
You're safe and well as a child to his mother
You will always be remembered as
OUR FALLEN BROTHER
Fellow Brother in Law Enforcement

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.
Tonight, July 27, 2005 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Police Officer Nels (Dan) Niemi who died in the line of duty just two days ago.
When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.
Officer Niemi's sacrifice will never be forgotten.
