His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, 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 tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got 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 an unmanly tear.
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 often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain; but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

Rest in peace.

For Border Patrol Agent Mark Van Doren:

Our duty as patrol officers takes us into many dangerous situations, but hardly any as deadly or dangerous as traveling a United States highway. The mere presence on this "battlefield" places us at risk, and added is the risk of our work at this location. We regret leaning of Mark's demise and the serious injury of his partner.

We pray for Mark's family, friends, co-workers and all others who care about him. We pray for full recover of his partner from both the physical and the emotional trauma of this experience.

I am proud to present Agent Mark Van Doren a final salute.

Cpl. Ralph D. Fiorenza (Ret.)
