IT SOUNDS LIKE THNDER 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 CALLLING, 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 THE 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. Author Unknown
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CHRIS, YOU WILL BE MISSED.

Almost nine years ago whan we started the academy. I knew that there was a chance one of our classmates would eventually get posted on this web site. I wish it wasn't so.
I'll never forget when our whole class pitched in to send me home to see my little girl. There is no better gesture than the one you all made that day.
I will forever remember you for that.
Rest in peace Brother and may your beatiful family forever be blessed by your watchful eyes from heaven.

My deepest thoughts and prayers are with Patrolman Mirabal's family, friends and co-workers. I was married to Alabama State Trooper Brian Nichols EOW 2/17/2002 and I am now married to Washington County Deputy Sheriff Aaron Carpenter. All of your COPS family is here for you and hurting for you. We all became a family when our loved ones became police officers and now we have even a stronger bond when one of our family members go down. We are here for you to help you along this journey you now have joined with us. God bless you all.
