Rest in peace Patrolman Blackwell.

Rabbi Lewis S. Davis

2/1/1975 is the day I married my wife in Santa Cruz, CA. It was also the day that Patrolman Billy Blackwell's family mourned his loss. It is good to maintain a perspective on life. Mine was a day of joy; theirs a day of mourning. We therefore remember the sacrifice of the Blackwell family as we also celebrate our marriage.

Thank you, SIR, for your sacrifice on behalf of your community. You are not forgotten. May God bless your memory.

Pam,

I am a police officer with the Covington, KY Police Department. I was born on 2/1/75... In May, 2015 I will be participating in the Police Unity Tour (250 mile bicycle ride) to raise money / awareness for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and honor those officers who made the ultimate sacrifice. Based on my DOB and his EOW, I will be riding in honor of your father...

God Bless you and your family...

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 37th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer

Time never diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
