Reflections for Police Officer Truong Thai

We may have never met, but I heard from fellow Asian friends that you were a good man and loved your job as a police officer serving the citizens of Las Vegas. Your 22 years of dedication to the people of Las Vegas will never be forgotten. As a fellow Asian you will never be forgotten and all Asians in Las Vegas should be proud of your service.

I met Officer Thai briefly while working CP IT; he was the most professional while friendliest LVMPD Officer I'd ever met!

For his spouse and children and family, please know we appreciate him so much; his loss will not be small; we share your loss deeply and will do everything we can to be by your sides forever more...

Thank you for sharing this amazing person with us... and for being allowing us to be part of your family moving forward.

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.
