Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

With deep sadness I heard of this tragic news today. Sending lots of prayers and sympathy to your wife, children, family, friends, and entire department. You gave the ultimate sacrifice in serving and protecting, and will not be forgotten. "A Hero does not become a Hero by their death, but by how they lived their life." God Bless!

A Tribute to the Heroes Among Us

Dedicated to Emergency Response Personnel everywhere and F.A.M.I.L.Y.

Our hearts go out to you and your families. You’re in our thoughts and our prayers. Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough for men who are heroes when we need them, but invisible, ignored, and unappreciated when we don’t.

You rescue us, save our possessions, our lives and our families. You are the heroes among us. You are always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we call, we just expect that you will come and do whatever it takes to help us. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring. We show our appreciation with low pay, little respect, and indifference for the issues in your lives, most of the time. As young children, we want to grow up and be you until we get older and realize the risk isn’t worth the reward.

As outsiders, we envy you, secretly. You have benefits in your careers that our jobs just can’t provide. Your work is not the same old thing every day. You get the opportunity to be heroes every time you go to work. You obviously love what you do, and you’re a family. You have a oneness the rest of society longs for. You care about and support each other. You know each other’s families, share each other’s lives. The rest of us face life’s trials and tribulations alone. You are never alone. You have each other, always.

It is our loss not to know you better. This world, this country, your individual towns truly are better places because of you. To lose one of you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We should be grateful for and to you, and honor you regularly for all you do for us day in and day out without a word of thanks or praise.

We should be ashamed of ourselves; and yet, you continue to do all you do for us in spite of our behavior, which speaks to the people you are. How many of us are willing to do a job knowing we may not go home at the end of the day?

Maybe one day in the future, you will be recognized for all you do with better pay, and the community support and respect you so richly deserve. Until then, hang tough together, and God Bless You and your families.

To the members of the Dallas Police Department and Senior Corporal Lozada's family:

I offer my deepest condolences to everyone who knew and loved Corporal Lozada. Many officers die each and every year in many different ways. What a tragic loss this is. Though I never knew Corporal Lozada, I can only imagine what the Lozada and Dallas PD family are going through. Corporal Lozada was serving not only his community today, but also the potential future of the United States. Tragically he lost his life in the process, but it is not in vain. He will be remembered, by those who did and did not know him, because he has made the ultimate sacrifice for all. May God bless you Corporal Lozada, and his family and friends during this most difficult time. You will be rememered my brother in blue. Rest in peace and go forth with the Lord.

Texas suffers today again. Third officer in three days. Two accidents and one by gunfire. Three line of duty deaths. The whole country mourns for Texas.

I am sure Senator Clinton mourns your loss. You will be remembered in history as a hero. Escorting a Presidential candidate is another one of those "routine" jobs an officer does.

I am sure your family thinks of you as a hero. We all feel what they are going through.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Sr. Corporal Lozada-Tirado. I know that this news is devastating for so many. I pray that God will protect and comfort those who are grieving at this time. Thank you Sr. Corporal for your service, and for the choices you made that led you to become an officer. It is tougher and tougher it seems these days to maintain standards which allow you to become an officer. You not only chose this path, and followed through, but continued to shine as you career flourished. Thank you for providing your service with pride. God Bless your family and coworkers.

My condolences to officer Lozada-Tirados family, and his brother and sister officers. As motor officers we all know the dangers of diginatry escorts, and have all been in situations where we have felt the brush of an angels wings. Today, they could not get to Victor fast enough, and he rides on ahead of us to join them, and watch over us all. Ride on Victor, ride on.
