To the friends and Family of Casey my heart goes out to you!
I worked with Casey in the USAF at Offutt AFB and enjoyed every minute working with him. His sense of humor and dedication to duty help raise the morale of the entire squadron. I'm sure as he departed the USAF he brought that same attitude with him. Also for his partner, Draco, that is traveling with him and still ensuring his partner is safe, they are both in good hands. I along with numerous others will feel their loss.

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO! May God
Give the family and friends the strength and faith to deal with this tragic loss. Words can not express my sorrow!

"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.

Today another one of our Brother Officers paid the ultimate sacrifice.
There is no honor greater then this as you have let the citizens of
Pontiac, Illinois and this great Country of ours know that we are the Thin Blue
Line of defense between good and evil and that no one should take for granted our
our brotherhood of officers who are in the hundreds of thousands strong.
So today we want to thank you for being a member of the blue line.

We shed a tear
We salute you for your unselfish service
We will say a prayer for your family.
We salute you for your unselfish service
Brother rest in Peace we've got it from here........
