Our hearts are heavy as we pray for the family of Officer McKeithen, the Biloxi Police Department and the City Biloxi. Rest in Peace Officer McKeithen, job well done, your

Our hearts are utterly broken and we pray hard for the McKeithen family, friends and the Biloxi Police Department over yet another senseless murder of a police officer. Rest in peace Officer McKeithen, job well done sir, your brothers and sisters will take it from here. God has called to heaven yet another Sheepdog Peacemaker to protect his Kingdom.
This unfounded hatred towards law enforcement has to stop. The fuse for this hatred was lit in Ferguson Missouri with the false hands up don't shoot narrative and continues to this day. This hate has led to dozens of police officers around the country being ambushed and murdered. How many children, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers must loose their loved ones because of this insane manufactured hatred? We pray this will somehow end, it must.
God Bless the Peace Makers

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.

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,

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
