Reflections for Major Gregory Eugene Barney

Words cannot adequately express what loss we feel when one of our First Responders dies in the line of duty.
Thoughts and prayers to the family, friends, brothers and sisters in arms at Riverside PD, the community and his Navy veterans. Major Barney placed himself in harm's way to protect the community and LEO members with him against an armed and dangerous THUG and did so willingly.
Heaven gained a Warrior Angel who will light and secure our path when our watch is done.
Rest well Warrior Angel Major Greg "Lem" Barney, we have the Watch.

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.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln
