Rest in peace brother.
To Protect and To Serve
I don't know why you chose this path
It was surely not for pay
There's no routine or certainty
That brings comfort with each day
You leave your home and take with you
Silent prayers of family
They know the dangers you will see
They pray on bended knee
Your eyes see more in just one day
Than we do in an entire year
You strive to make our homes a haven
Safe from harms way and fear
You vow To Protect and To Serve
People you don't even know
You treat them all with dignity
Despite the filth they show
The way you serve with care and honor
Reflects your reputation
You wear your badge with such great pride
And it serves as confirmation
You never know with each call you take
If this will be your last
But yet you continue to take each one
And let your doubts just pass
This is your eulogy while you yet live
To wait for your death is sad
How much we need you to keep on going
To survive in a world gone mad

I used to travel this way all the time, when my brother lived in Carnegie. I have probably seen you, passed you, asked you for directions. I know wish I could have said thank you one more time...
"There are heroes who walk among us
never looking for glory or praise
They don't seek recognition
for their thoughtful, caring ways.
Living lives of deep commitment
providing protection and calming fears
Steadfast with a quiet strength
through times of crisis and tears."
"Blessed is St. Michael the Archangel, Blesseds are the peacemakers, for thiers is the Kingdom of Heaven."

"I am a Pennsylvania State Trooper, a Soldier of the Law. To me is entrusted the Honor of the Force. I must serve honestly, faithfully and, if need be, lay down my life as others have done before me, rather than swerve from the path of duty. It is my duty to obey the law and to enforce it without any consideration of class, color, creed, or condition. It is also my duty to be of service to anyone who may be in danger or distress and, at all times, so conduct myself that the Honor of the Force may be upheld."
Rest peacefully, my friend.
