You gave the ultimate sacrifice to the people we are sworn to protect, and for that you will always be an epitome of a true hero. I may serve in another state but I grew up in that area, and the news was truly devastating. Thank you for your service, Sir.

Ofc. D.W. Smith, you are a hero to those that loved you, those that knew you and so many more that never had the pleasure of your company. You are one of God's chosen to fly as a Blue Angel. You will always be remembered as a hero and your son will always know that from "US." Your son and Leslie will always be in my prayers.

The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
