I was so hoping that I wouldn't see another officer down today. I told my listeners yesterday that we have honored and greived for our lost heros, but here I am again leaving a message for Sheriff Jones family and friends and his sisters and brothers in law enforcement. This saddens my heart so much to learn of another officer.

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.

God Bless You All and we will keep Deputy Sheriff Jones and his family and friends and his sisters and brothers who wear the badge of law enforcement in our prayers and thoughts.

May that persons family and friends find strength and peace during this difficult time.
