I wish to express my most sincere sympathy to the Forgione family. My heart aches knowing another Brother officer has given his life in the line of duty. (I am also related to Forgione relatives living in Florida.) I annually visit the Police memorial in Wash. D.C. I will now honor Anthony with the highest of respect on each and every visit.

I shall also keep the Forgione family in prayer for strength, comfort and the ability to endure their pain. May God bless you all.

A Hero Is...
One Who Never Hesitates To Tackle The Most Difficult Problems..
One Who Is Always By Your Side..
One Who Knows Right From Wrong..
One Who Acts With Pride..
A Hero Touches Every One Of Us,
Whether It Be Word Or Deed..
Always Tending To Those Who Find Themselves In Need..
When A Hero Leaves This Earth, Yes, It's Sad, But True..

All Too Many Times, The Hero Is Dressed In Blue.
