Reflections for Police Officer Francis J. "Frank" Hennessy
My most hearfelt condolences to the family, friends and fellow officers of Officer Hennessy. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
To Frank's wife - I share your agony. I lost my husband in the line of duty 9 months ago, and am left to raise two children on my own. I am praying for you, for strength and courage. Frank is your guardian angel now; he will guide and protect you on this most very painful journey you have just begun. Hold on tight to your precious little girls and know that you will get through this.
Thank you, Officer Hennessy, for your service and sacrifice. May God bless you and may you rest in peace, Blue Angel.

You always had words of advice and encouragement for the multitude of "rookie" impact officers from the 70 PCT, while they passed through your way at Newkirk Station on their way to post.
Your words of advice, encouragement, heroism and dedication will not be forgotten.
Rest in peace, brother. We now have the watch.

“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.

"A MAN IN BLUE"
A man in blue has lost his life in service of law.
The love that makes this sacrifice the greatest love of all.
A Police man was killed today, the reason I cannot say.
I don't know why he had to die.
The man in blue died for me and you;
we must remember him too.
Flags fly low, let use bow in prayer
for fallen police men everywhere;
and remember this: that they are missed.
The badge burns bright like an evening star
free from a world of war.
