Reflections for Police Officer William Ray Buechner, Jr.
Rest easy hero, you served well. Prayers for comfort for his family, both blood and blue.

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.

"Somebody killed a policeman today,
And a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids
And spend alone many long nights.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too,
Just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
It happened in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now, his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call and gave us his all,
And a part of America died."

Buech, I can't believe you are gone. I'll always remember your goofy sense of humor, the poker nights, cook outs, and just hanging out. Thanks for being there and lending a hand to a baby-faced rookie back in the day. You'll never be forgotten and your blue family will always be there for your wife and children.
Love you man,
