Lord Jesus, as we watch our nation’s brave law enforcement officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the law enforcement officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” [Psalm 23:4 ESV]

One of the many amazing men and women who sacrificed heroically after leaving their house that morning having no idea the way theirs and their families lives would change. Thank you for your service and please know that your sacrifice is one that will never, ever be forgotten. Rest in peace always.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when John died as a result of an illness he suffered in the line of duty in 2001 during the aftermath of 9/11.

To the Brant family, fellow officers, and all who call John beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support. I hope that you continue to receive that same kind of support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Lt. Brant gave to his community and the citizens of New York and New Jersey, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on July 19, 2018. We shall never forget any of our 9/11 heroes and I hope you and your family know that a grateful nation mourned for you.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

John and I were as close as brothers An intelligent man. A great cop and a great boss. We were classmates and worked together for most of our careers. No one more dedicated to his duties especially at the site. John was dealt a couple bad hands in his life. But never let it show He was a class act and a hero. I miss as we would say doing laughs. But most of all I miss my best buddy
