God Bless Officer Will and his family. This loss is so tragic but even more horrible because it has been reported that the person who hit Officer Will was an illegal alien, high on cocaine, drunk and had been previously deported.
Officer Will's wife and children will have to learn how to live without his presence and love in their lives. Lord, please give them strength to get through the difficult days ahead.

We can shed our tears that HE is gone, or WE can smile because HE has lived. WE can close our eyes and pray that HE'LL come back,or we can open our eyes and see all HE's left. Our hearts can be empty because we can't see HIM,
or we can be full of the fun and love of the JOB we shared.
We can turn our backs on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or we can be HAPPY for tomorrow because of yesterday.
We can remember HIM only that he is gone, or we can cherish his memory and let it LIVE ON. We can cry and close our mind, be empty and turn our backs Or WE can do what he'd want:
smile, open our eyes, and move on.

for you are my BROTHER-N- BLUE always
"seriously"

from your shift of brothers and sisters you are remeber as a HERO

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.
