Thank you for your service, sir. May your family & friends be constantly reminded of how deep of an impact that you left on this earth, and your community. There are no words that can express the kind of respect I have for people such as yourself. I visit this website often to remember those who dedicate their lives to making this world a better place. God rest.

"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.

Estimado Agente Osvaldo Gonzalez-Ortiz

Su coraje, sacrificio, y honor no sera olvidado y su muerte no estara en vano. Seguiremos la batalla contra las fuerzas de maldad que usted murio luchando. Le quiero agradecer por lo que ha hecho para la gente de Puerto Rico durante los 12 anos de ser agente. Usted sabe bien que a veces le toca a gente buena hacer trabajos dificiles y peligrosas. Nosotros los policias aceptamos que la muerte es un riesgo real y tangible. Lamentablement algunos de nosotros como usted tienen que hacer este sacrificio tan grande. Nos acordamos de eso cada vez que nos despedimos a nuestras familias para ir a ponernos el uniforme. Tu memoria no morira, porque seguira viva con nosotros y con los que vendran en nuestros lugares. Que nos cuide desde el cielo hermano.
