Reflections for Patrolman James Thomas Brown

Rest in peace Patrolman Brown.

I am the daughter of Trooper Edward G Shomaker, who was stationed in Moore County the time of the shootings. My late father knew these troopers, Reese and Brown and thought highly of them. I was only a very little girl but I remember it vividly!
My dad was later transferred to Troop E in Rowan County but always missed Moore Co. of NC. He began retirement after 32 yrs, a proud Trooper. The Honor Guard at his funeral was beautiful and he was wearing his uniform. He would have been proud. I miss him mightily.
I still get emotional when I see a Highway Patrol car in NC. I honor the work as I honor the integrity my daddy had.
He was Trooper of the year in 1958; I believe.
I honor the sacrifice of ALL Troopers killed in action and those who continue to strive in keeping our roads and drivers safe. Thank you!

I cross the bridge named in your honor every day I travel to work. I tell you every day that I will do my best to make sure everyone goes home at the end of the shift. I'm not sure why I felt lead to leave this note tonight....but I did. I respect your sacrifice and pray your family has peace.

Parole!!! He shouldn't even be in prison. He should have been in a hole in the ground - worm food.

The officer never got to speak for himself so we as fellow officers will do it for him, I am not sure what Mr. Brown would tell you if he was alive today about the parole of his killer. So all I want to say to you is if it was your son your brother or whatever the case may be that this guy killed would you want to set him free that is the question I think you have got to ask yourselves!!
