Andy, it was a pleasure to have dispatched for you and an honor to call you a brother in blue. You lived your life as we do here on the Coast Guard Cutter Dauntless, "Sin Miedo" or "Without Fear". We stay strong in the heated times and we stay vigilant because that's what it takes. We have fought many battles and celebrated many victories and I will forever celebrate your life and our friendship as I do Todd and the other brothers we have lost. I know that I will be a little more safe with you looking out for me as I work to protect our great nation as you did.

Fair winds and following seas my brother, you will never be forgotten.

Andy my friend, I still don't believe you are no longer here. When Rob informed me you didn't make it was like someone kicked me in the stomach. I am going to miss all the laughs we had. I was remembering the morning you, Blasco and I ate breakfast and Tony spilled the gravy on his tie and how you laughed when he got upset. Oh how I am going to miss that laugh. I know we will see you again. I will always remember you Andy.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Trooper Wall, especially to his girlfriend Cindy. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Andy, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Andy's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Andy's life was about so much more than the way he died. Andy will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Trooper Wall, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiance Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been eight years and he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

Andy, we are all going to miss you very much. You always made those around you smile. Your laughter was contagious and it seemed like you never met a stranger. I am thankful for the Friday night that I got to see you. I appreciate all you did for your community and for the State of Tennessee. You came from a family dedicated to the service of others and you carried that tradition on wonderfully. I will miss you my friend. God Bless you!

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"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.
