Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To the family, colleagues and all who loved HERO Officer Galinger:

I hope that todays sentencing of 11 years in prison, for his murder, will help to ease some of your pain. I can only imagine how it must have felt to have to sit through the “apology monologue” today.

To HERO Officer Nicholas Galinger: Thank You for your service and sacrifice. YOU will NOT be forgotten!

I am happy to let everyone know that today, Saturday September 25th, the Jury came back with a Verdict of GUILTY on 8 counts!
The sentencing for this CONVICTED KILLER is set for November 1st. The potential prison sentence is 8-12 years (Count 1 is the only charge that comes with mandatory prison time).

Although the sentencing is yet to come, I hope that todays GUILTY VERDICTS bring a measure of comfort to all who knew/loved HERO Officer
Nicholas Galinger!

I pray that the MAXIMUM sentence possible will be imposed.

Keeping the family, friends and colleagues in my thoughts and prayers.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray Psalm 91 over all LEO’s and this prayer also:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I know that God sends those angels to watch over our officers, sometimes to protect them and sometimes to whisk our officers into His presence.

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

I have lifted your family to God every morning for over nine years. I pray that Nicholas' life and death will bring glory to His name.

Trust those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

I remember our days doing security together. Those were good days. You made my day at work go by just a little bit better. Your presence and conversation would brighten up any room. I regret not taking enough time off of work to just hit up some bars with you and enjoy Savannah. I want you to know that I think men like you are heroes and it would be very difficult for someone to fill your shoes. You were a real law man. You were honest, hardworking, and you actually cared about others. I'm going to miss you my friend. I hope your in heaven right now helping guard the gates.

Today, I will not answer the radio call that you boyfriend has come home drunk and is beating you again. Today I will not answer the radio call that your 16 year old daughter, who is very responsible, is four hours late coming home from school. Today I will not answer the radio call that your store has been robbed or your house has been burglarized. Today I will not stop a drunk driver from killing someone. I will not catch a rapist or a murder or a car theft. Today I will not answer the radio call that a man has a gun or tried to abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has been in a terrible accident. Today I will not save your child that you locked in the car or the child you were to busy to watch who went outside and fell into swimming pool, but that I revived. No, today I will not do that. Why? Because Today I was killed be a drunk driver while I was helping push a disabled car off the highway. Today I was was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop to simply tell someone that they has taillight out. TodayI was killed in traffic accident rushing to help a citizen. Today I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a know drug dealer. Today I was killed be a man when I came by to do a welfare check because his family was to busy. Today I was killed trying to stop a bank robbery or a grocery store robbery. Today I was killed doing my job.

A chaplain and a officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a wife or husband or mother or father won’t be coming home today. The flags at many police stations were flown at half-mast but most people won’t know why. There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a twenty-one-gun salute will be given, and taps will be played as I am laid to rest my name will be put on a plaque , on a wall , in a building, in a city somewhere. A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a bookcase in a home somewhere and a family will morn.

There will be no cries for justices. There will be no riots in the streets. There will be no officers marching , screaming “no justice, no peace.” No citizens will scream that something must be done. No windows will be smashed, no cars burned , no stones thrown,no names called. Only someone crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I was cared about.

Rest Easy, Officer Gallion. Your incident occurred within view of my home off Hamill Road. That evening I saw the blue lights all over the road and the next day watched as detectives and all kinds of police cars worked the area to find your killer. I drive by the spot of the incident every day and will never forget the sacrifice you made for our safety.

He was a young man. he had much ahead of him yet this had happened, moreover when he had recently graduated from that time. though life goes on his loved ones and more will understand what happened, and thank him for the service he did and tried to provide. The person who caused his death did turn themselves in and got their justice served, but the life of one was still lost. rest in peace officer Galinger.

My condolences to the family and friends of Police Officer Nicholas Galinger. Losing a loved one is always difficult. Please 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 your loved ones again, in paradise conditions, here on earth.
