From one brother to another, USMC, and Officer Anthony Sean Bolton, I extend my final salute sir, and as always faithful, you and me...Semper Fidelis! Gone from earth, united in heaven, Jesus has extended his open arms with "Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant!" <3 :'(
We Salute Our Fallen Brother
For I’m already being poured out like a drink offering,
And the time has come for my departure; I have fought
The good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Now there is in store for me a crown of righteousness…2 Timothy 4:6-8.
The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will
Of God lives forever…1 John 2:17
Today we stand to salute our brothers’ departure from here
He’ll leave behind a family and those who hold him dear
In a career he served where all give some, yet he gave his all
He leaves this earth behind as he received his final call
The risks he faced on this final tour was one of a unique kind
His bravery surpassed his courage at last he leaves a world behind
Everyday he’ll be remembered for all the special things he did
He patrolled the streets as Gods chosen servant to him goodbye we bid
Don’t worry our brother in blue you’ll always be a part of our mind
We’ll always recall the bright face you bore one that’s so very kind
The hours you spent making a difference protecting all mankind
You stood your watch and kept the faith of one so hard to find
We Salute Our Fallen Brother for the impeccable job he done
You walked tall on duty with integrity second to no one
The beat you worked was like a battlefield in a society filled with change
Yet you never wavered in your commitment to a job that somehow was strange
The flag of our nation will not fly at half mast across the entire USA
But trust us dear brother with taped badges we honor you this way
A symbol of a fallen brother that graced our presence everyday
We’ll always salute the job you performed before you went away!

Police Officer Anthony Sean Bolton:
My Brother in BLUE, It is with a heavy heart and great sorrow that I recognize and thank you for your service, loyalty, dedication, courage, and ultimate sacrifice in the line-of-duty for the citizens of the City of Memphis, Tennessee, and the Memphis Police Department. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God" Matthew 5:9. "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends" John 15:13. During this time of mourning, let us not dwell on the horrible circumstances surrounding your murder, rather let us celebrate the good you passed along to many during your life; your family, friends, colleagues, and the citizens of the community you served so well! Death is not the end! "Truly, I [Jesus] say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise" Luke 23:43. "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away" Revelation 21:4. Rest in peace now Sean, we will take it from here! May the Lord bless you always.
