Reflections for Police Officer Bradley Michael Fox
This message is probably different from the others. I am Italian and I lived in Norristown, PA very close to where Officer Fox lost his life, at the time he was killed. I had just moved one month prior to the US, and I was so struck by the story of this brave and so unlucky policeman who heroically sacrificed his life to protect the community, including myself. I still feel a debt toward him and that's why I want to pay homage and respects to his memory, as I always did when stopping and saying a prayer at the memorial place built in his honor along the Schuykill river.

I think about this nice police officer so very often who always was nice to my sisters and I whenever we would happen to come upon him and Nick we loved dogs and we have Rotties so we shared dog stories with him and he was always so nice when he didn’t have to be. I know nothing will bring your Brad back to so many of you who loved him but please know I hate what happened to him he didn’t deserve this and neither did his Family or Friends . He will always be remembered and never forgotten . i know you probably heard this a thousand times but sometimes our loved ones leave us and their physical being is no longer here so although the memory of Brad is here you have to find a new way of communicating with him. i hope that doesn't sound off the wall Just know you are in my Prayers tonight and always.

It has been 8 years, I just read about this, I didn't know you but know your sacrifice will not be forgotten. To your family, I hope you have seen a way through your pain and loss... What you had to endure is unjust and unfair, just know you are in someone's prayers tonight. God bless.

"Fair and Young...Just ready to live,
Loving and Caring...Always willing to give,
Toiling daily to achieve only the best,
Watching and Caring for all of the rest"
Officer Fox - This is the inscription on the tombstone of my dad, John G. George, who died while on duty as a NY State Trooper in 1970. He was about the same age as you. I wanted to share this with you and your family after I saw an article today. It described my dad and today I give them to you as well. Know that you are not forgotten and your service and heroism is always honored. Rest in Peace.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

I just met Mike Segard (spelling not certain) while walking Kuma and picking up the pond. As often happens in my world, I either wave, or offer friendly banter, looking for some small way to connect to residents. Mike felt welcome to converse, sharing the way men share when they can read each other's souls through the portals of their eyes.
We spoke of our past military service, the joys of good VA benies, our health challenges and victories. Why would he mention Brad? Well, Mike served in the Viet Nam Era, and found a friend in Brad's father. As often happens, military men understand how death can lead to parenting prospects, for your buddies children. It is instinct, or genes, or culture. I have never heard of it openly spoken about. Perhaps it is like the way women and mothers know how to live in a village, only a rare guy version.
These are perilous times for all of us, growing in fear of the greed that is government, and what this appears to mean for everyone else, subject to some terrifying visions of freedoms lost at the end of govt's armed enforcers. Above this 'meme' I heard the story, from a total stranger on a sunny spring day, of the loss Mike still holds close, of the 2 year old Brad he was privileged to know, many years ago, and the wounded K9 Officer, retired to a family that gave up a lot too much for serving us.
Mike will be out to see Brad, later this summer, and carried himself with a pride few of us are allowed, during our short careers as men.

Brad first of all me start bye wishing you a happy 36th birthday. second I can not believe that yesterday was the one year anniversary of the day that you were taken from your family and friends. Though we never met I can honestly say that you were truly loved by a lot of people. Yesterday Montgomery County officials placed a plaque at the seen of your murder and I was there to see the awesome display of support and affection from your brothers and sisters in blue to your family. It was truly amazing at one point when they unveiled the plaque and Lynsay had your 18 month old daughter Kadence touch the plaque before anybody else. RIP Brad and watch over your brothers and sister in blue knowing they have the watch down here now . And know that you will never be forgotten by this guy. Semper Fi Marine

Officer Fox, although I only met you once (thanks for the warning notice for running that light, ooops, I found it shortly after what happened, then realized it was you who stopped me, and now still have it), but can't begin to express the grief I feel for you and your family. As we are coming upon the 1 year anniversary of the darkest day for the Plymouth Twp Police Dept, as well as your family, I can still remember everything that unfolded that night like it was yesterday. I wish to say thank you for your service to our country, as well as the residents of Plymouth Twp. You will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace

Sir, I just saw your newborn son on Facebook. What a beautiful little boy, named after you. Thank you for your service. I'm sorry you aren't there to enjoy your family. I'm sure you are now their guardian angel, and will keep an ever watchful eye on them. I hope your family carries on in health and peace.
