Reflections for Corporal Joseph Raymond Pokorny, Jr.
I was saddened when I received via email of Corporal Joseph Pokorny's death. Once again, another brother has been taken because of some punks running around with a gun. I extend to the family and the Pennsylvania State Police my condolences and my regrets on his passing. Continue to remember this officer's bravery, courage, and all the services he provided to his community. Corporol Pokorny your shift is over now, and we will take it from here. Rest in peace, brother...

The family of Trooper Pokorny deserves our appreciation and gratitude for their sacrifice. No greater love has a man than the will to give their life for another. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Trooper Pokorny is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

Brother Pokorny,
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

Rest in Peace, Brother. Your service and sacrifice were not in vain, nor will they be forgotten.
"Yea though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." Psalm 23:4
You walked through the valley everytime you suited up and now you are Home. Be proud and stand tall as you prepare to walk the Streets of Gold. From your post, watch over your family and help them to find the strength they will need to forge ahead in your absence. Let them find peace this Holiday in knowing that you are on their shoulders and in their hearts.
Watch, too, over your extended family of blue. Ride along as they fight the battle here and help keep them out of harm's way. Let them return to their families as yours would have liked you to return to them.
Rest easy- we will carry the sword with pride, honor and integrity until we are relieved.
Godspeed!

To Joe's co-worker's, God bless you for the job you so willingly do everyday.
You will not be forgotten. Say Hi To Pete
