I WAS DRIVING IN YORBA LINDA THIS MORNING AND SAW A MEMORIAL STICKER OF JOHN BAILEY ON THE BACK WINDOW OF A VEHICLE. IT BROUGHT BACK MANY MEMORIES OF THAT DAY IN FEBRUARY WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT JOHNS DEATH. MY HUSBANDS PARTNER WAS SHOT LAST YEAR AND THANKFULLY SURVIVED BUT NOT A DAY GOES BY WHEN US AS WIFES THINK ABOUT THE STRESS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF OUR HUSBANDS JOB. I HAVE KNOWN A FEW OFFICERS IN MY LIFE THAT HAVE DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY AND CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE IS ALWAYS FEAR IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF THEIR CAREER. MAY ALL OF US TAKE JUST A MOMENT OUT OF OUR BUSY LIVES AND THANK A POLICE OFFICER, ANY POLICE OFFICER FOR THE VERY BRAVE AND DANGEROUS WORK THAT THEY DO. THEY WILL APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT. I HOPE TO ONE DAY START A POLICE OFFICERS WIVES SUPPORT GROUP TO NOT ONLY HELP EACH OTHER WITH OUR EMOTIONS BUT TO HELP FINANCIALLY ALL FAMILIES OF FALLEN OFFICERS.

HEAVEN WAS NEEDING A HERO


I've always been told
You won't be called home
Until it's your time

I guess heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is heaven was needing a hero
Like you


Heaven was needing a hero
and that's you

May God be with your family,friends and co-workers.
You will be forever missed by so many. Even one's that never knew you personally. It is apparent you showed couragious strength in everything you did. Be proud of yourself. As a Motor officers wife the reality of what you do everyday is very real to our family.
Officer Bailey please keep watch over all the motor men out there everyday as they do the job they love with all their heart.
May god bless your wife and children and give them comfort.

I remember PFC Bailey as a Blackhorse Trooper assigned to Tango Troop, 4/11 in Fulda, Germany. Although the rigors of a cavalry soldier are demanding, I never heard Bailey complain of the duty. Whether in the field during training or in garrison, he was always smiling and joking which kept the morale high. I saw Bailey as a solid man, never wavering. My prayers will be with him and his family.

I was very sorry to hear about Greg death. I was stationed with him in Fulda, Germany and he was a good soldier and goodf man. I will pray for his family.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Bailey, especially to his wife. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. You will be in my thoughts.

From reading all the reflections left for Gregory, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Gregory's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Gregory's life was about so much more than the way he died. Gregory will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Officer Bailey, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been three years but we still miss him terribly.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

A Part Of America Died,
Somebody killed a policeman today,
And part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
And spend many long lonely nights.
The beat he walked was a battle field too
just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
In your town or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And stands at each new rookies' side.
He answered the call,of himself and gave his all,
And a part of America died.

ITS SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER FAR AWAY...

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.

Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.
They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.
Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.
So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.

My heart goes out to Officer Bailey’s family, especially his wife, children, parents and sister. It is appalling to know that someone who was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country and served daily to make our streets safer was taken in such a tragic manner. As the wife of a CHP Officer currently deployed overseas, I know that Officer Bailey’s wife and children missed him everyday and waited anxiously for his return. I am so sorry for your loss and just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you and that your husband/father/son/brother will not be forgotten.

To the family,
My prayers are with you. I know your pain. I cried when I heard the news of John's death on the day that I returned to Long Beach from my brother's funeral. Mrs. Bailey was right when she said that John was not a victim. John, my brother Earl, and all of the Officers who have died in the line of duty to their state and this wonderful nation are Heroes. They died serving the people and doing a job that they loved. They are the ultimate heroes. Please celebrate these men and women's lives and thank God that these people dedicated their lives to keeping us safe.
