Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Agent Doss,
On today, the 5th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country and to the Patrol. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Donna was my partner in Brackettville, TX. In fact, she was my journeyman for a spell. She was tough but fair and had an immense knowledge about the way our agency operates.

My favorite memory working with her was a funny one. Agents find comfort in telling memorable stories, so I can find no better story than this one. Donna and I positioned ourselves in a high altitude location that gave us superiority over any potential threat coming from across the border. While performing surveillance, an inappropriate song came on the local radio.

As a trainee, you never touch the radio! As much as I wanted to change the channel, I knew I was being tested. When the song was over, she said “you passed the test”. I will never forget that day.

She was loved by many, including my family’s children who she connected with through mutual friends. She loved to ride horses and shared that passion with others.

She is missed and not forgotten.

I never knew Agent Doss, but met Michael at NPW last year. Donna was really loved by Michael. After hearing their story and seeing Donna's pictures on ODMP I can see why they were so much in love. I will be thinking of Donna and Michael on the 2nd of Feb, 3 years since Donna's LODD. Chaplain John

The first time I met Agent Doss I did not believe her when she told me her name. I thought she was messing with me, me being a young jailer working for the Sheriffs office back then. Over the next year or so she was always willing to lend a helping hand, and always had a smile on her face when called upon. She is also one of the many who encouraged me to continue with my law enforcement career. I am posting this now to let anyone who may read know that she is still thought about and missed. Rest in peace Donna.

Donna, it was such a shock to hear that you had passed when I came in to work the night of your accident. Although we never met face to face you were always calling the office on those long Del Rio nights keeping us awake. And although I was sometimes annoyed that the phone was ringing at such late hours, I'd trade all the annoyance in the world just so that you were still with us. Rest easy Agent Doss.

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whose blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

So Sorry for the loss, I pray that GOD will watch over the family and fellow officers that served with this officer. May God give some sense of peace. We all lose when a LEO falls. Take hope in the fact they are now patrolling Heavens Streets. Again my deepest regrets for the loss.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
