I Never Dreamed it Would Be Me

By Sgt. George Hahn, LAPD, Ret.

I never dreamed it would be me,
My name for all eternity,
Recorded here at this hallowed place,
Alas my name, no more my face.
"In the line of duty," I hear them say;
My family now the price will pay.
My folded flag stained with their tears;
We only had those few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest,
I sleep now in eternal rest
My sword I pass to those behind,
And pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never dreamed it would be me,
And with heavy heart and bended knee;
I ask for all here from the past,
Dear God, let my name be the last.

Patrol Officer Chuck Lambert
Georgetown Police Department

We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Sergeant Chris Kelley of the Hutto Police Department.

The death of any law enforcement officer brings grief on us all. However, when it is one of your own officers I know it is especially difficult. There are times when words cannot convey the depths of brotherly feeling, when in this dangerous service of ours, a peace officer is called upon to pay the ultimate sacrifice which this work demands. I know there is not an officer in the department whose heart does not feel sympathy to those who are left behind. Not one of us knows if the next call for service may be the last call for an officer. They are the hero of the heroes and the brave amongst the brave. They are truly American Heroes in its purest form.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you and your families.

Please know you do not grieve alone. May God Bless Sergeant Kelley’s family, friends, and your department during this time and always.

“Blessed are the Peace Makers for they shall be called the son of God” Matthew 5:9

Sergeant Christopher Kelley:

Thank you for your courage, dedication to duty, and service! We will always remember your selfless sacrifice. "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. May the Lord welcome you with open arms and embrace you with his awesome love. May the Lord bless you and keep you always.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Hutto Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

Rip brother. We've got the line now. "The Thin Blue Line"

There is a line
the color of the sky
on a clear afternoon

There is a line
the hue of the ocean
on a bright sunny day

There is a line
the purest shade of a newborn's eyes
awakening for the first time

There is a line
that protects us from harm
in all we do
whether day or night

There is a line
no one can penetrate
no one can alleviate

There is a line
made of those who choose
to follow a calling many do not hear
and still more do not comprehend

They choose to walk
the path of fear, hate, and mistrust
taken by so few
but marked by so many

And when one leaves this line
they leave a legacy
but the line does not break
for the remaining must still protect

There may be emptiness
a loss, or sadness
but never a hole
not in this line

This line that holds
the ghosts of the souls who have gone
and the souls of the ghosts who will be
The Thin Blue Line
