Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Being the wife of a motor officer this hits way to close to the heart...and needless to say a little close to home also..I pray that God gives your family, friends, and department the strength and will to get through this all..I know it is hard..God Bless you Officer Young..You now have a new set of wings to go along with them motorwings..Wear them proud and protect over your Brother/Sisters in Blue..Thank You and God Bless!


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.

On Memory
When you remember me, it means that you
have carried something of who I am with you,
that I have left some mark on who I am on who you are.
It means that you can summon me back to your mind
even though countless years and miles may stand between us.
It means that if we meet again, you will know me,
and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost.
~Frederick Buechner

Thank you somuch for the committment that you made to keep us safe.

Another officer has fallen, Lord. You must have had a very special reason for needing him unknown to us. Officer Young is now standing his watch in Your Kingdom. He watches and now protects ALL of us. God bless you Officer Young and thank you for all your time of service and God bless your family for allowing you to serve. Dear Lord take care of him, you have another fine officer.
