Trooper Calvin Jenks is a hero in the law enforcement community. He bravely served the state of TN and gave his life to protect their citizens. He gave the ultimate sacrifice that an officer can give. He must have loved his job and was willing to give his life to do it. Our condolences go out to the officer's wife and family.

The Final Inspection
The policeman stood to face his God, which must always come to pass. He hoped his boots were shining, just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said. "No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint."
I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been violent, because the streets are awfully tough.
"But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got to steep.."
And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear."
"If you've got a place for me here Lord, It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't...I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne where the saints often trod. As the policeman waited quietly, for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Policeman. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat in Heaven's streets, you've done your time in Hell."
*Author Unknown*
God Bless You Brother, for all that you have done, and all that you will above. Please look down on us and continue to protect us from the evils of this world. We will pray for you and your family during this horrible time. And for all of the people whom you have touched....Thank You.
In Brotherhood,
