Reflections for Sergeant Denny F. "Boe" Gallaway, Jr.

It will be seven years since we lost our son in the line of duty. It leaves a huge emptiness that cannot be filled by anything else. As I remember all to well, right now everything seems like a bottomless dark pit. We will pray for light at the end of your darkness.

Let it be known that on September 15, 2005, the United States lost two of its heros. One served his Community and the other, his Country. May God be with you both and watch over your families in their time of sorrow. Rest easy brothers.

I worked narcotics with Boe Gallaway for the last several years and will miss him being there for me. Boe put his life on the line daily and loved his job but his wife and family were the most important thing to him. Boe was not only a partner but a friend to all who knew him. Boe we love you and will miss you, WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU BROTHER!

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.

Today, September 18, 2005 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Sergeant Denny Galloway who died in the line of duty just three days ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Sgt. Galloway’s sacrifice will never be forgotten.

While it is no consolation for your loss, our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and fellow officers of Sergeant Galloway

While no member of our agency had the privilege to have known him personally, we are certain that he has found a place in heaven through his selfless service to those he swore to protect.

Rest in peace officer; those of us who remain will cover your post on the thin blue line.

Denny, you are true hero and thank you for your service to the citizens of San Jacinto County, State of Texas and this great nation. You paid the ultimate sacrifice doing what you were called to do and loved doing. We are proud to have had you as a member of our law enforcement community. Thank you for your dedication. Mrs. Gallaway, even though we never met Denny personally, but we want you to know that he was our brother in blue and one of the most dedicated individuals on our network. The news devastated us here in Mississippi as well as our law enforcement brothers and sisters around the United States. Do not hesitate to contact us via Charlie Clack. On behalf of the Meridian (MS) Police Department, I would like to say that you and your family are in our prayers and we will never forget Denny and what he did for the community. God Speed.

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.


Rest easy, Sgt. Semper Fi.
