Officer Buckman paid with his life in order to make sure others were safe. When I listened to the news and heard it was a F-5, I assumed 100's had died but with a great warning system and loyal officers like Officer Buckman, many lives were saved. A lot of people owe their lives to Officer Buckman. You are a true Hero.

Jesus is my front sight,
Sovereign in my life.
In peace, or in battle,
He guides my warrior stride.
Jesus is my front sight,
FOR HIM NO MAN I FEAR!
Jesus is my front sight.
Twas He who led me here.

My prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends of this fine hero as he goes HOME to serve with the many who have gone before him.
To the wife and children he left behind: The road is long before you, but with a strong faith, and family and friends at your side, you can make it! You are not alone!
To the work family: You have lost a good man, and I am sure an asset to the staff. Just know that he is in a much better place now and will no longer have to deal with the horrible things he did during his life on earth.
