Reflections for Police Officer Henry Andres Nelson
The Thin Blue Line shall forever honor your courage, professionalism and sacrifice. Those who wear the badge with dignity and restraint as servants of a higher calling than self, will never surrender to evil in your memory. For it is written, good shall ALWAYS triumph over evil.
My heartfelt condolences to your daughter, extended family, fellow Officers of your department and the local law enforcement community, the citizens of Sunset and the law abiding people of the State of Louisiana. They have all lost a national treasure.
You will not be forgotten.
Rest in eternal peace.

Your life was taken by a madman who had obviously no regard for innocent lives or those sworn to protect them. In a twisted sort of way, your sacrifice may have been a contributing factor in two of the victims living. The scum who killed you became distracted and by leaving, their lives were spared.
You laid down your life for another and for that, you are truly a hero. Your daughter is in my prayers.
God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
