My sincerest, heartfelt sympathies go out from my family to yours including both civilian, military and law enforcement. No words can describe the pain in a fellow officer's heart hearing the fall of one of our own. Stay strong and know you are not alone.

To Deputy Charlie Brown, his family and his agency:

I was so saddened to hear of Charlie's death. I know you will be supported by the brotherhood and sisterhood of your law enforcement community and I hope you are comforted by your faith and their support. Charlie's service will always be remembered and his memory honored and revered.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Charlie gave to his community and the citizens of my home state of North Carolina and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on December 8, 2009.

Rest In Peace.
"The Final Inspection"

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Deputy Brown and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever.

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Deputy Brown, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Deputy Brown is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family, and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

It was their duty to serve; it is ours to remember.

Charlie, just like many others, I still can't believe your gone. I was able to call home the night of your incident and thats when I was told what happened. You were a great friend and a master of your work. You were a role model to alot of people. Being a young officer you gave me great advice to live by. I still remember such a short time ago you told me how you were gonna be there in February for the graduation. Well, I know you'll be there still smiling down on us. You are in our hearts forever. Thank you for all you did. R.I.P

It has been a long time old friend. I served with Charlie in Dessert Storm/ Shield. I recall an energetic you man who loved the sweets. He possessed a kindness and gentleness that could befriend anyone. There were so many nights are unit went to sleep with the giggles and laughter of Charlie's jokes.

I am proud to know you carried on defending those who could not defend themselves, but it saddens my heart to know that you have left us. My mind will be at ease knowing you are looking over us.

My deepest sympathy goes out to your wife, children, family and friends. You will be deeply missed by all.

Charlie you devoted your life defending our country at home and abroad. You stood proud for what you believed in and did your part in making your community a safe and pleasant place to live. You are a true hero, rest in peace my brother.
