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"

An American hero being just that. Putting a child's safety first and his own life in jeopardy to a coward. This hero will NEVER be forgotten. God bless his family, friends & a devastated Department. God bless those who put their lives in harms way protecting us daily.

To Officer Falcone's Family:
There are no words to express the feelings... I do not understand why anyone has to leave this life in such a way. I am a young widow so I understand a little bit what its like to be left behind to make sense out of it all and to pick up the pieces.
To Officer Falcone:
You are in all meaning of the word, a true hero. That little child is alive today only because of your actions. May you keep watch on your family now, as they will need you the most. Thank you so much for your service, keeping us safe on these mean streets. There WILL BE A VOID IN THIS LIFE WITHOUT YOU. I am so very very sorry, my heart is breaking I can barely type this. GodSpeed Sir.........
