Rest in peace brother, your watch is over and you have served well. You will be welcomed in your new assignment. Thank you for your many years of service. God bless the family, friends, and co-workers of Detective Dinwiddie during this time of tragic and senseless loss. Prayers for the other officers for a full and complete recovery and return to duty. Demands that both of these subjects be charged with capital murder in this case as it is certainly warranted and deserving of the death penalty. Please, let's all be careful out there. God bless the peacemakers.

Detective Charles Dinwiddie,

When you made your decision to enter law enforcement some eighteen years ago you became blessed:

For the Lord said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9 ESV

When you responded to that residence for which you, along with your comrades, were armed with a Narcotics Search Warrant on Friday, May 9, 2014, you answered God's call to serve:

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah 6:8 ESV

As a result, you and three other police officers were gunned down by the suspect from within the residence as you approached; sacrificing your life on so that others might live and be protected:

And the Lord said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 ESV

I, along with your family, friends and comrades, will mourn your sacrifice and loss in the line of duty:

And the Lord said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 ESV

Now go! Rise up! And do battle against Satan and his demons as an angel for the Lord!

In God's merciful love,

Pastor Steven R. Closs
Retired Captain of Police, Nashua NH Police Department

RIP Brother, you have given your all. Thoughts & prayers are with you, your family & friends and the Killeen P.D. God Bless.
