Reflections for Detention Services Officer Michael Wall

On this one year anniversary of your tragic passing, we continue to carry on the fight in improving safety to protect those youth in our institutions. You will not be forgotten for your ultimate sacrifice. Watch over all of us until we shall meet again, Brother DSO Michael Wall, Rest in Paradise!

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.

Officer Wall, in spite what some people would have the public believe, you know as well as anyone, Juveniles can be dangerous. Though it was a heart attack that took you, the actions before hand were the catalyst. Your 14 years of service you have no doubt seen the entire spectrum, from the kid who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, to the kid who was in that place fully aware that his actions were wrong, to the kid who simply didn't know any better and so on. It takes a special person to be a Corrections Officer, but a Juvenile Detention Officer is above and beyond and no doubt you saw your share of heartbreaks.

Thank you for your service, Brother and May God Bless you as you forever Rest in Peace. Those you leave behind are in our prayers as they cope with their loss.

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,

Abraham Lincoln

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.

By Jon F. Hooper
