Sgt. Brandt’s kids asked Siri if she knew their dad...thanks for an accurate account and up date about his trial. They also enjoyed that you have a smiling picture of him too. Going on three years and it still feels like yesterday. Thank you for the nice reflections too.

I am remembering Sgt. Brandt today. He was a incredibly humble and hardworking officer. His loss has left a wound in the Fairbanks community and in the law enforcement family that will never heal. We can only hope to honor his legacy by seeking to follow his example of professionalism. Gone but never forgotten.

Sgt. Brandt was my brother. The first shot which blinded Allen occurred before the shooter dashed in front of the car while the shooter was not visible to the dash camera. In the subsequent altercation, Allen was unable to see and could only react to what he heard. After Allen's vehicle was stolen, he dragged himself out of the street and immediately called in to the station. A nearby resident stood watch with Allen until help arrived. She told me that Allen was a consummate professional. He had not waited for backup before responding to the shots fired. The shooter had fired shots into at least one hotel room. Allen's practice was to be the first officer on the scene whenever innocent lives were in danger. Allen was the overnight watch commander and it was his call to go in alone. The Fairbanks police department has very few officers at night considering the size of the population. It is a different breed of person who runs toward danger instead of away from it to act as a shield of defense for others. God bless every police servant who, like Allen, is willing to lay down his life to save others. Allen was highly praised by his fellow officers and the community in which he served. At an address to the city council shortly after the shooting, he expressed that he had seen the hand of God in his situation. I can only pray for the shooter and that others come to a saving knowledge of Jesus as a result of this, as Allen strived to tell people about Jesus whenever possible. He was a great example of humility and grace. He leaves behind a wife and four children and will be greatly missed.

There is place in the North, the legends say
a land of a midnight sun.
A land of beauty and harsh, cold winters
where the Coho and the Sockeye run.

And despite biting cold and the deepening snow
and the dark of the endless winter;
man has gone here to live and to thrive,
a wilderness bidden to enter.

And where man goes so goes the law,
for not all men will act civil.
The unfortunate fact that we hate to admit,
that some men are created evil.

The law in the North is enforced by a group
of men and women well seasoned.
Made hard by the cold and the howl of the wolf,
To serve and protect is their reason.

And so it goes that one of their own
was dispatched to a cold winter street.
Like any officer found in some warmer climes
Sgt Brandt was just patrolling his beat.

The radio crackled and spoke, "shots fired,
please go investigate."
Without hesitation Sgt Brandt sprang into action,
to determine the cause of such hate.

The culprit he found, a young man on his own,
wandering in the cold and the black.
If only'd Sgt Brandt known of the impending violence;
a cowardly, vicous attack.

Six shots rang out, and Sgt Brandt was down,
struck in both legs and chest.
Kicked in the head, car stolen, left for dead,
Blood now covered his once spotless vest.

A neighbor, concerned, ran to the commotion,
an angel of mercy to render aid.
Despite egregious wounds, this would NOT be fatal.
Today, Death, you will be stayed.

They packed Brandt in a plane, hundreds of miles to fly
Anchorage, their destination.
There lived doctors and nurses, the hopeful source
of Sgt Brandt's salvation.

Tirelessly they worked, scalpel and forcep,
keeping Sgt Brandt alive.
And when they were done, thank heavens it looked
like Sgt Brandt was going to survive.

But fate, unfortunately, had other plans.
And Sgt Brandt sadly died.
Complications, most likely infection,
after surgery to help fix his eyes.

We mourn for the loss of a man of the North,
dedicated to protecting the night.
A new star now shines from the heavens,
shielded by the northern lights.

Rest in peace, Sgt Allen Brandt

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
