To the Family of Sergeant Michael Smith

I was sadden when I heard of the death of Sergeant Smith and the other officers. Please try to take comfort in Jesus words found at John 5:28, 29 where he said that there would be a resurrection. Just think of the time when you will see all your loved ones again. Once again, my deepest condolences to the family.

My heart aches for the family, the Dallas Police Department and
your community. God be with you as you protect us.

FLAG OF A FALLEN HERO

I am placed upon the casket with reverence.
Symbol of honor, loyalty
and ultimate sacrifice,
I am the Flag of a Fallen Hero.

I proudly embrace the casket.
Guards silently stand with heads bowed,
never leaving the Hero alone.

I am snapped to attention.
Stars and stripes are folded,
red, white, then blue.
Gentle hands offering a loving embrace.

Slow salutes of honor and respect
are answered in kind.
I am presented to family on bended knee,
with whispered words of condolence,
love and support.

I feel the beating of a grieving heart
as I am pressed to the chest.
Tears fall upon my stars
and become a permanent part of my fabric.

Taps.
Mournful notes of grief
whisper softly to the heart.

I am the Flag of a Fallen Hero.

It is my End of Watch.

I wrote this to honor the memory of all Law
Enforcement Heroes. Shari J., 2016

I am so very sorry for your loss.
RIP Sergeant Smith

Thank you all for your service Shari J.

God bless you my brother in blue. The news of your murder by a racist coward was a shock to all of us in the law enforcement community. Many do not appreciate the risk we all take or the sacrifices we make as police officers. They talk ill of us, but call when something goes bump in the night. And what do we do? We go and we make them feel safe because that is our duty as guardians of the publics safety.

Thank you for performing your duty to the citizens of Dallas. Thank you for protecting the freedoms and rights of those who don't care for us. You were a true warrior and guardian to the end.

To your family, I am truly sorry for your loss. No one can appreciate the hell you are going through. You saw your husband off to work and he never came home again. Only the wives of those of us that wear the shield get it.

God I am so sorry. My heart breaks for all of you in Dallas.

What happened in Dallas is a complete disgrace. You are all heroes and the entire law enforcement community mourns, today, tomorrow, for all eternity.

Sergeant Smith, God Bless you and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful. Thank you for your service to the nation and for protecting the citizens of Dallas. So long as those who know and love you best keep you in their hearts and minds, you will never be truly gone.
