Trooper Brian Linn,

You will never be forgotten, from the 7 months of our academy life together, finding out that we would be stationed together in Charles Town, to all the calls that you backed me up on. It didn’t matter what you were doing, didn’t matter the seriousness of the call, you always had my back. For that my brother, I will never forget you, never forget all the great memories we’ve shared and for your character, inspires me to be half the Trooper you are. Miss you buddy.

Come take this badge off of me
I won't wear it any more
Now the sun is setting over me
And I feel like I'm knocking on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door

Come put these guns in the ground
I can't shoot them any more
The sun is going down
And I believe I'm knocking on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door

Come wipe these tears from my eyes
I can't shed them any more
The sun is setting in the western sky
People, I believe I must be knocking on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Just like so many times before

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Just like so many times before

Credit due to GUNS AND ROSES...May you rest in peace brother.
