Reflections for Patrolman Adrian Arellano
El Paso is my hometown and it holds a special place in my heart. I hate to see any of my brothers and sisters in blue fall, but it hurts worse when it is from a place so special to me! Rest In Peace Brother, We've got the watch from here!

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...they look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.
Side by side they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents why the men have mirrors for eyes.
They ride the roads and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel on silver wings, they sparkle in the light...
Then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.
Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.
So if you see one riding , and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen one rides again.

Avenue of the Fallen
Standing at attention in their class “A“uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place.
As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say “it’s OK, you’re with your eternal partners.”
A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

Patrolman Adrian Arellano, I know your shoes all too well. I've been their and had some real close calls as a motorcycle police officer for over 20 years. You loved your job and wouldn't have wanted another one. Sir, may you rest in peace.

How tragic and infuriating that the selfish and irresponsible actions of one person can effect the lives of others and in such a drastic way. I hope that driver lives with and learns from the event and changes his/her future attitudes.
I also hope and pray that those who know and love you best realize that, though you have been physically taken from them, you are never really gone.
God Bless and may you rest for all eternity, in peace, Brother.
