“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

For any police department to lose one of it's own is sad, but for such a small community to lose two in one incident is beyond heartbreaking and tragic.

May Officers Fite and Breland Rest in Peace. They're spirits will live forever in the hearts and minds of Wiggins, MS. Thier extended family in blue will also miss them.

To the families of these two fine men, our prayers are with you.

I SEND MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY OF OFFICER FITE. I DID NOT KNOW HIM PERSONALLY, BUT WITH MY HUSBAND BEING SHOT AND KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY ON AUGUST 13, 2005, I KNOW THE PAIN AND SORROW THAT YOU ARE FEELING. I AM SURE THAT HE DID HIS JOB WITH AS MUCH PRIDE AS EVERY OTHER OFFICER OUT THERE ON THE STREETS. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU IN YOUR TIME OF LOSS.

My deepest sympathy for the fallen officers. As a former member of this department, I remember how closely knit a unit this small department was. I was PD-5 of 8 officers, one part-time. I pray that God will look down and bless these two families.
