"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."

Lord Jesus, You came to Earth to show us what true love looks like. You taught us that love was about sacrifice, virtue, and service. You taught us that love means to lay down Your life for one another. For fallen law enforcement officers everywhere, we thank You for their selfless example of courage and valor. We ask that You bless and keep the families and friends of these fallen officers. Lord Jesus, wipe every tear from their eyes. Help them to heal and to move forward in a way that honors Police Officer Michael D. Chandler's, of the Big Stone Gap VA Police Department, memory. In Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen.

“Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS for they shall be called children of God.” [Matthew 5:9]

“No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13]

Officer Chandler, what a sweet baby face you have! I am so sorry you were taken away from all of us at the hands of a murdering coward on your birthday yet! I pray that you will forever celebrate with Jesus and that your friends and family will be wrapped in the arms of our loving God and helped to understand this madness, if possible. I thank you for your brave service to us; you are gone way too soon. Rest in Peace, Brother.
