Thank you Special Deputy Hahn for your many years of dedicated service. We never met, and I've never been a police officer, but I know it takes a special individual to dedicate their life to serving and protecting their fellow man. And it takes a special woman to stand beside that man. I pray for you, and especially your wife at this difficult time. May God smile upon you both.

“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.

My brother's name was the last one added to the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial in Madison, and I always hoped that there would be no more. I am so sad to see that Special Deputy Hahn will now be among those listed on the wall both here and in Washington D.C. My deepest symapthy goes out to his family and friends.
Rest in peace, Special Dep. Hahn - Heaven has gained another hero today.
