To my friends with the Maryland State Police pray that God comfort you as mourn this hero who Maryland. In Valor There Is Hope my friend for we are children of God. Because for one blessed are the peacemakers just like trooper first class Shaft S. Hunter for theirs is the Kingdom of God. And reminded of one thing before I go I'm reminded what a wise woman wrote down after the loss her husband: It is not how these officers died that made them heroes it is how they lived.

When we suite up before our shifts we know the dangers that may lie ahead. We don't do it for the fortune or the fame. We don't do it hoping to become heros. We do it because there is something special within us. You were a cool dude, and someone a young officer could look up too. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your life. Rest Easy. Watch over the rest of us, We'll take it from here. You are a Hero. I will never forget you.

Trooper Hunter, may you rest in peace knowing that you have served the state of Maryland honorably and that you gave your life rather than swerve from the path of duty.

Shaft, its hard to believe, just 11 years ago we were in the academy looking up to you through the good times and bad times, you were always there! You were my class president, a mentor, an instructor, but most of all a TRUE friend. Words can't express how I feel, but I know that your looking down at us with that big smile. God bless you and your family and RIP my friend.
