Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sergeant Dunakin, Officer Hege, Sergeant Romans and Sergeant Sakai, your deaths were senseless and unnecessary.

You had the guts to work in a city most of us would never dare to work in. You gave your lives, believing the people of Oakland were deserving of the highest level of service. I hope the people of the City of Oakland are as grateful for your service as your fellow officers are.

Rest in peace my brothers. We have the watch.

I did not know the Officers that were killed or injuried on March 21, 2009, but as a fellow Peace Officer I can only imagine the sorrow and the pain that the families of these brave men are going through. We are all brothers when it comes to wearing the Peace Officers uniform and we all mourn when a fellow Peace Officer gives the ultimate sacrifice. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of these brave men and the Oakland Police Department.

ITS SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER FAR AWAY...

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.

Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.

They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.

Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.

So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.
