"A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger."
While this quote describes all law enforcement, it is particularly appropriate here. These warriors ran to the sounds of battle while others ran away. They are true heroes and I honor them for their lives and their sacrifice.

Arlie, you will be missed. I only knew you for a short while, but you were taken way too soon. It is some comfort that you are no longer in pain. We know you will be watching us from above as we go about our day to day tedium.
Rest in Peace Brother.
Your life was full and had so much meaning,
you never dwelled on the chance of leaving.
Facing each day with a possible threat,
and not one moment lived with a regret.
So many people see but don't understand,
that we protect and serve in a not so perfect land.
There wasn't time for you to say good-bye,
but I can hear you clearly saying -- 'Please don't cry'.
Your life has been rich and sweet,
you'll be missed by your brothers and sisters on the street.
You don't have to face another hassle,
now you can go live in your own little castle.
Getting your wings up in the sky,
where one day you'll teach us all to fly.

It's always hard to see that a brother/sister goes down, it's especially hard to see that TWO go down. It's hard to take this happening so close to home. Being a former Midland County Sheriff's Deputy. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Officers family and to all the Law Enforcement Officers in the Permian Basin area. It's time for you to keep patrol in a much better place. May justice be very swift.
