A portion of a letter written by President Abraham Lincoln, printed in the Boston Evening Transcript on November 25, 1864.

“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”

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Beyond tragic, and no words can even hope to do your sacrifice justice. My thoughts are with your family, friends, the Orlando Police Department, and, truly, our entire community. You lived as a hero and will forever be remembered as one. Decades from now your name will still be spoken of while the person that took your life is forgotten. Thank you so much for your service.

Master Sergeant Clayton, thank you ma'am for your service. The manner in which you were murdered should be cause for alarm for every law abiding citizen in the Great State of Florida. This killer must be apprehended at any and all costs, and be made to answer for his crimes. He must never be allowed to walk upon this Earth as a free man again. We will keep your family and Department in our thoughts. Please watch over us as we carry on.

No greater honour can be bestowed upon a human being than to be entrusted with investigating the death of another.

A very brave lady who served her community "ordinary citizens doing and extraordinary job"'
