Reflections for Master Trooper David Edward Rich
Rest easy brother, we will continue the watch from here. You will not be forgotten. My prayers are with your family.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Trooper Rich and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Trooper Rich has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.
To the family and friends of Trooper Rich, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Trooper Rich is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
