Reflections for Police Officer Chris Yung
I sit here thinking of you Chris, you're heavy on my mind and I think of you often. We spent six months in the academy together and those moments I'll carry with me the rest of my life. I'll never forget the day I found a cell phone in the middle of Wellington Rd and of all people who called it, you! I remember meeting with you to return it not knowing it was the last time we'd speak. It took me years to finally write this, I miss you my friend.

John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". 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.

When I talk to all my Officer / trooper friends, I think of Chris. He was a awesome Patron of mine in the Auto Repair Business.
He rides in the hearts of many of us on Angels wings....

I still miss him and shudder every time I drive through that intersection. I still keep a memorial sticker on my vehicles and if ever his family needs anything beyond the PBF I hope they let me know. I pray for them, not as often as I wish.

I saw a group of friends, family and fellow officers releasing blue balloons a bit ago at the corner where Officer Yung finished his Final Watch. My heart goes out to each of you on this sad anniversary. God Bless!

There is a shadow a darkness that lurks between the thin line that divides good from evil. This darkness can only be walked by a select few those brave enough and able enough to withstand the pain and agony that comes along with walking that line. Venturing into this darkness changes you, alters you, and even creates an individual that can really no longer adjust to ever really living outside of it. This thin blue line is called many things, but once it changes you, once your blood turns blue, you can never go back. You can never leave its pull, it has become a part of your soul, your spirit. They can take the badge and the gun, but to take what it means to be a blue-blooded warrior they would need to rip the very heart from my chest and squeeze the blue blood out of it. Only then will the blue flame ever be extinguished. Because of this I hurt and grieve for my brother, and I would have gladly risked my life to have saved yours. I love you brother, Semper Fidelis, and rest easy my friend, your watch is over, job well done.
