David's unfortunate passing has been a harsh reminder of the daily dangers these Troopers, Deputies, Police Officers, Probation/Parole Officers and any other Law Enforcement/Corrections/Detention entities have accepted with their job and their desire to serve and protect ALL of US. May the father, mother, sisters and other family members, friends and co-workers of David somehow find peace with this surreal event, know that we are all thinking of and praying for you. We keep you in our thoughts everyday. May all Officers return safely to their family today and tomorrow.

Our Greatest Fear

Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again, I hold back a tear.
They patrol in the state, city, county and town,
in uniforms colored white, green, blue and brown.
The shape of their badges may vary,
but it’s a symbol that they all, proudly carry.
They leave for work with a kiss goodbye,
but some don’t come home, no matter how hard they try.
To uphold the law is the job that they pick,
with such high aspirations, why must some die so quick?
They leave behind loved ones, family and friends,
after their lives have met tragic ends.
Some die in crashes, others hearts not too stout,
to many have been lost when gunshots ring out.
Our Heavenly Father has called them home,
no more these dark streets do they roam.
Through trial and error they have given their best,
please Lord, now grant them eternal rest.
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again I hold back a tear.

To the family and brother troopers of Trooper David DeLaittre, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers here and that the brotherhood extends beyond geographical boundaries. I recall many years ago feeling uneasy as I traveled lonely stretches of Montana highways and thinking how brave your troopers must be to patrol such areas. It is clear that David possessed such bravery. May he now rest in peace.
