Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class A uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place. As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say its ok youre with your eternal partners. A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

A PART OF AMERICA DIED....

Somebody killed a policeman today .... And a part of America died. A piece of our country he swore to protect .... Will be buried with him at his side.... The beat that he walked was a battlefield too,.... Just as if he had gone off to war, .... Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half-mast .... To his name they will add a gold star.... The suspect that shot him will stand up in court .... With counsel demanding his rights,.... While a young widowed mother must work for her kids .... And spend many long, lonely nights... .. Yes, somebody killed a policeman today. Maybe in your town or mine,.... While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors.... A cop put his life on the line.... Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street, .... And he stands at each new rookie's side; .... He answered the call of himself gave his all,.... And a part of America died.

Rest in Peace Sarge.

They walk the wall at night
Not conscious to their plight
Fending off the demons of darkness
At great personal sacrifice

They walk the wall at night
Securing what is right
Giving all they have
Honoring their fallen comrades

They walk the wall at night
So we may slumber in peace
Thoughtless to their sacrifice
Thoughtless in the night

They walk the wall at night
We pass them .
Our lips quiver to say thank you
But our lips fall silent

This was written to honor all the soldiers of the military and civilian law enforcement as well, that we take for granted every day.
