All terrorism is local; our Local Law Enforcement Brother Collier sacrificed his life on the front lines in the war of terrorism. Brother Collier was a fearless and faithful defender of the Homeland and IS a true American and Law Enforcement hero! God bless Brother Collier, his loved ones, and all of his brothers and sisters in blue who are our front line defenders and heroes in the war on terrorism. The Lord’s promise to Brother Collier is now a promise delivered in heaven…..”Blessed be the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.”

When Boston was attacked, the world stopped. I stopped with everyone else. As the time progressed we started to hear stories and answers. We were told on the news you had passed away after being ambushed. There are no words for what those cowards did to you or the city and the victims at the Marathon. Please know that you, your family and department, and Ofc. Donahue and the victims of the attack will NEVER be forgotten. GODSPEED Sir!

The Final Inspection
The policeman stood and faced his God,which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?
The policeman squared his shoulders and said.
"No, I guess I ain't because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a Saint."
I've had to work most Sundays
and at times my talk is rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep...
though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got to steep.
And I never passed a cry for help
though at times I shook with fear,
and sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.
They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much, but if you don't...I'll understand"
There was a silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman.
You've borne you burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets.
You've done your time in Hell"

Joliet, IL Police Dept.
