Unbelievable that 11 years have passed. The memorial for you is outstanding and it's so sad it had to be built at all. MIT proved it cared and respected their Police with that. I know your family down the street from me are an outstanding group and have managed to take a few of our folks. I also know they all try everyday to live up to a reputation you helped maintain.

God Bless you, Brother and may you forever rest peacefully.

Officer Collier, it has been 11 years since you were taken from us. It is not fair that you have left us and the assassin sit in a federal prison with all his needs and wishes being taken care of, knowing the government will never carry out the execution!

New England law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your 1 1/2 years of law enforcement service.

Watched FBI True tonight and they were talking about your death along with the other innocent people who lost their lives in the Boston Marathon Bombing. 10 years doesn't seem like it and I know you are still watching over your loved ones and fellow police officers in Boston. God gained a hero and we honor your service and sacrifice.

Officer Collier, it has been 10 years since you were taken from us. In my post-retirement as a charter bus operator, I always make sure my passengers take note of the memorial erected in your honor on the MIT campus and ask them to think of your sacrifice. New England law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices that you and too many others have made for us. Thank you for your service.

Just recently, your name was mentioned with some other Law Enforcement Officers. Officer Sean Collier, my Brother, we have never met you in person, but in 2013 I was present at your Memorial in Boston Massachusetts. I did feel your presence there in spirit. There was a great showing of support for you, your family and friends, and your Department. Our Brothers and Sisters came from all different areas of the country and the World. You will not be forgotten. God Bless and Rest in Peace...

Last Sunday, the folks from my shift held a little get together as we sometimes do on holiday weekends after work. It was the 8th anniversary of your murder at the hands of punks who thought they were some kind of heroes. Though we laughed and talked about lots of things, and of course bitched about things at work, we stopped and thought of you and your sacrifice and how close to home it was for us, even those who hadn't started working with us at that time. Not one of us didn't feel a bit emotional at that moment. You ARE a Brother and a neighbor to us and always will be. One of our folks was one of the first on the scene that night. Several of our folks were in Watertown when all Hell broke loose. It was your Brothers and Sisters protecting the future on the Commonwealth's campuses who had to sit behind the State Police at your memorial service to honor you. You got national attention, but not for the right reasons, but even in a nation that now seems so anti-Police it's heart wrenching, cannot find a negative thing to say about you. Thank God you are respected, if only because you were murdered.

Sean, I may never have had the chance to meet you, but I know a number of your co-workers at MIT and some who have moved on for whatever reason, but there is a kinship between our departments that was brought even closer by this horrendous and infuriating tragedy. We will mourn you forever, hero.

In fact it's been eight years, but in all of our hearts, it was last week.

May you continue to forever Rest in Peace, Brother and may God Bless you and all who feel the loss most of all.

The Boat that one of the bombers was hiding in was that of my neighbors. I will never forget looking out that window seeing those flashing lights and herring the opening of fire for over two minutes straight.

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.
