Reflections for Senior Trooper Steven J. Vincent
It is a sad day in the law enforcement community, as I think about the loss of one of our family members. Senior Trooper Steven Vincent was mortally wounded while serving and protecting his community, giving the ultimate sacrifice, keeping his promise, remembering his oath. Though, I have never meet Senior Trooper Vincent or any of his immediate family, my prayers are with them. Thank you Sir, you gave it all.

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.

Oh such a tragedy, your life was taken
In such a senseless way
We do stand united, in these deep felt blues
That you aren't here today
We are very thankful, for the sacrifice you've made
And so we stand and say
It should have never happened, not to you in blue
We wish you could have stayed
The torch that you ran with, must now be passed on
With the high price you've paid
You're gone but not forgotten, in that color blue
Lord God he's yours today
