Printed words do not completely express my tears of sorrow and sad reflections of Sergeant Galloway's passing. His heroic actions are the ultimate meaning of "helping others while sacrificing self". He WILL rest in peace. In memoriam, a donation has been given to the NLEOMF. God Bless.

Sgt. Gallaway, you are a real hero. I personally knew someone that died in the same fashion. Tried to save a drowning person and they ended up being the one drowning. You gave the ultimate price trying to save another person. I look forward to taking the watch in your honor. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, your friends, and your department. God speed and Rest In Peace Brother!

When I patrol the golden streets of Heaven, I hope to patrol them with you.
When I pass the gate, I will stop and salute the Marine that will be guarding God's Kingdom.
Thank you both for your service, dedication and sacrifice. My children will know what a Hero is, for I will show them both of you.
May God watch over your families.
Until I can meet you in Heaven, God Speed Brothers....

I am one of the sniper / observers with the Polk County Special Response Team and Bo Galloway was our team leader for a few years. Bo, I'm glad to see you gave your heart to the lord just prior to going to be with him. I'm sure your wife and children will one day be there with you as a family again as you wished before this unfortunate tragedy happened. Thanks for being a great leader. We love you and we miss you. There will be security in our hearts knowing our guardian angle (Denny “Bo” Galloway), will be covering our backs when we kick the next door down to apprehend criminals in the future. My brother, I’m sorry it was you. Our prayers will be with you, Angela and the kids.

The world lost two of its bravest on Sept 15th. Sgt Gallaway and the unnamed Marine. Thinking of others without any reguard for their own safety. I found this on another officer's memorial page, and thought it was appropriate.
Their hearts are too big
Their wallets too thin.
They're an integral part
Of the world we live in.
They're at work everyday;
Come rain, sleet or snow.
'Cause dedication and honor
Are all that they know.
They deal with the worst
Day in and day out.
They're the ones who come running
When it's help that you shout.
They wear badges and guns
These modern-day knights.
But neither of these
Protect them from fright.
They get hit, kicked and spit on
And oinked at like swine.
Yet they always come back
With boots and belt shined.
They stand their ground firm
When others would run.
And when it's over, they smile
As if to them it's great fun.
When all else is bad
They're the ones doing good.
Doing right by the law
As we all know we should.
Still often it seems
They get no respect.
Some even gripe
When they catch a suspect.
They violated my rights!
The guilty will say.
But how about what they
Give up everyday?
They don't see their kids,
Their husband or wife.
To the families it seems
That the job is the life.
They get slashed at and stabbed;
Beaten, bloodied and shot.
And all too often,
One gives all he's got.
Brave brothers and sisters
Is what they all are.
When one is killed,
They mourn near and far.
Only then do we see
Their toughness wear thin.
And just for a moment,
They let us all in.
They're human you see,
These warriors true.
Regardless of if
They wear green, brown or blue.
They distinguish themselves
Above all the rest.
And it's not just about
The badge on their chest.
For they see the things
We don't want to see.
They are the ones
That protect you and me.
They do all the things
Only the finest will do.
They're the brave men and women
Of the thin line of blue.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God."
