Sgt.Dragus,

Thank you for the sacrifice that you made. I look up into the stars over this world tonight, and know that you are watching over us.

Everytime I put on my uniform and go to work I think of you and the others that have given their lives to make us safe.

To the family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sgt. Dragus and family,
It hits all of us extremely hard to hear that one of our brothers or sisters in blue has once again had to pay the ultimate sacrifice. My heart stopped beating when I heard the news today that an OKC Police Officer tragically lost his life in the line of duty. I haven't heard yet if the motorcyle driver had been caught but if not, you can rest assured that we will not stop the search until he is found. Rest in peace Sgt. Dragus, leave us to carry out the job given to us when we put on the badge. To Sgt. Dragus' family, most of us will never know what you are feeling at this point in time and how you will feel years down the line but PLEASE never forget that if you EVER need anything, there will always be law enforcement officers and their families there for you if ever needed. Remember that your husband and father gave his life protecting the rest of us and if it wasn't for brave men and women like him the world would for sure be a much worse place. We will all miss him and thank him any you (his family) for your dedication to the Law Enforcement life style. Even though he has now moved to a better place, you are still a part of our family. Thank you once again. We will keep you in our prayers.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who unlocked your car after you accidentally locked the keys and your baby up at the mall.
I was the one who gave you a ride to the gas station when you ran out of gas on that back road.
I was the one who changed your tire because you couldn't figure out how to work the stupid scissor jack.
I was the one who directed you safely through that busy intersection when the traffic signals weren't working.
I was the one who gave you a jump-start after you left your lights on.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who found the item that identified the guy who raped your daughter.
I was the one who spent my days off in court to testify and help convict the man who beat your son so badly.
I was the one who located your grandmother in the woods that night when it was 22 degrees and she had wandered away from the nursing home.
I was the one who loaned you the raincoat the night we stood and watched your house burn.
I was the one who talked with you for two hours about your son running away from home.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who held your hand, wiped the blood out of you eyes, and calmed you down while the Fire Department cut you out of what was left of your car.
I was the one who called you at 2 a.m. to come pick up your 16 year old daughter because she had been drinking too much.
I was the one who knocked on your door at 4 a.m. to let you know your 16 year old daughter would never be coming home again.
I was the one who did CPR on your 3 year old after you found him in the pool.
I was the one who helped deliver your new baby when you didn't quite make it to the ER.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who got that snake out of your bathroom around midnight.
I was the one who got my knees and elbows scraped up fighting with the shoplifter with your carton of cigarettes.
I was the one who took your son for a "ride-along" so he could see what it was really like.
I was the one who gave you the right directions so you wouldn't miss that business meeting.
I was the one who stopped you to let you know your right rear tire was going flat.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who escorted your son's funeral procession from the church to the cemetery and cried behind my sunglasses because he was my friend, too.
I was the one watched over your place while you were on vacation.
I was the one who worked for you on Christmas Day so you could be off with your family.
I was the one who joked around with you after your truck got hit by a train and you walked away without a scratch.
I was the one was able to talk your husband into going into counseling with you.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who got shot when I pulled over a car for a traffic violation and the driver turned out to be an escaped convict who had sworn he would never go back to prison.
Oh, by the way, my memorial service is at 2 p.m.

Will you remember me now?

I will remember you!! RIP

I am so sorry for this fine Sergeant and his family. Pursuits are so incredibly dangerous and it seems the innocent are always the ones who pay the highest price. Justice may not come in this world but we can take comfort it will come! I pray the coward on the motorcycle is located soon and charged with the death of this warrior for peace.

I NEVER DREAMED IT WOULD BE ME,
MY NAME FOR ALL ETERNITY.
RECORDED HERE AT THIS HALLOWED PLACE,
ALAS MY NAME, NO MORE MY FACE.
"IN THE LINE OF DUTY" I HEAR THEM SAY,
MY FAMILY NOW HAS THE PRICE TO PAY.
MY FOLDED FLAG STAINED WITH TEARS,
WE ONLY HAD THOSE FEW SHORT YEARS.
THE BADGE NO LONGER ON MY CHEST,
I SLEEP NOW IN ETERNAL REST.
MY SWORD I PASS TO THOSE BEHIND,
AND PRAY THEY KEEP THIS IN MIND.
I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ME,
AND WITH HEAVY HEART ON BENDED KNEE,
I ASK FOR ALL THOSE HERE FROM THE PAST,
PLEASE GOD, "LET MY NAME BE THE LAST!"


God Bless you and your family. May God give them the strength to carry on. THANK YOU, Sergeant Dragus, for keeping US safe. Godspeed.
