"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.

Entiendo y creo q la ORACION eficaz del justo puede mucho. Asi q me uno en oracion por este Agente y hno junto a familiares y amigos, ademas hay una alabanza muy bella q dice DIOS LO VA HACER q quiere decir esto, q cuando un pueblo se une en un solo sentir con una causa, se humilla, y las ventanas de Cielos se abren a nuestro favor pq DIOS es asi es bueno. Solo creamos q EL LO VA HACER. Si puedes creer veras la Gloria de DIOS.

To Agent Jorge Sanchez-Santiago, to all family members and friends who call him beloved, and to his law enforcement family:
I was sorry to learn of Jorge's death and extend my sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you have suffered. Words are insufficient to describe the sadness I feel for the Sanchez-Santiago family. May you find comfort in your faith and the support of the law enforcement community.
There are many police survivors who share this same journey with you, and that community will be there to support you. Jorge's memory will be forever honored and revered.
This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Jorge gave to his community and the citizens of Puerto Rico and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made August 16, 2009.

Primero quiero dar gracias a Dios por haberme permitido trabajar con el "Nene Sánchez" como cariñosamente le decimos, precisamente ese último día de su vida tuve la dicha de poder colaborar con él y ayudarlo en lo que pude. Siempre lo recordaré como fue: un buen amigo, compañero y padre de familia. Te llevaré siempre en mi corazón y en mi memoria. "Te quiero Nene". A Jeny su esposa, a sus dos hijos y a toda su familia mis respetos, pido a Dios cada día que les de la fuerza para continuar luchando en la vida. A todos mis compañeros un fuerte abrazo. Continuaremos trabajando de forma incansable para que situaciones como esta no ocurran y para que nuestro pueblo tenga lo que se merece, vivir seguros y llenos de Justicia.

Quiero unirme al dolor y la pena que embarga a la familia del Sgto.Jorge Sanchez Santiago, que se nos a adelantado y a ido a morar con el Señor un poco antes que nosotros, aunque hubiesemos querido que te quedaras un tiempo mas. Verdaderamente todos te extrañaremos pues heroes como tu quedan pocos. Fuiste un ser maravilloso, una persona amable y empatica hacia los demas, audaz, inteligente, generoso, respetuoso, responsable y valiente; de esto no me queda la menor duda, pues estas cualidades son las que poseen y acompañan a los HEROES como tu, que han ofrendado sus vidas por el bienestar de sus compatriotas!!!!

Hoy doy Gracias a Dios por darnos la oportunidad de haber compartido en nuestro negocio, en los parques de pelota y donde quiera que nos encontaramos. A la Familia mucha fortaleza.......
