Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

POLICEMAN'S PRAYER

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, Policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my Church have you been true?"


The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
Can't always be a Saint.


I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my work was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.


But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep,
I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills just got too steep.


And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.


I know I don't deserve a place
among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.


If you've a place for me here, Lord
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."


There was silence all around the Throne
Where the Saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.


"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

As I sit hear I can remember our last conversation at the gas pumps and I find myself at a lost for words. You were someone that cared about the community and made a difference. I worked about 10 year with your Mother who helped me in so many ways I don't know were to start. Thank You for all you gave.

We recieved the tragic news in briefing early Wednesday morning. Lately we've been dawning our badge shrowds so much a lot of the Deputies carry them in thier patrol cars. My brother's this hits home so hard especially in the holiday season. I can only hope our prayers are felt by your families, and that justice is served on the punks that decided to steal a car early that morning. From the Martin County Sheriff's Office to our neighbor the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office; our deepest condolences to our brother Deputies who gave all. God Bless.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Deputy Wallace 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 Deputy Wallace has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Deputy Wallace, 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 Deputy Wallace 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.

For those who pledge to uphold it, Freedom requires a sacrifice the protected will never know.
