Today on a random trip to NYC I met K9 Vale and his partner. The spirit of fierce protection, loyalty and love was evident. Combined with a gentleness and peace. I was so moved to read the card the officer shared with me. May we all never forget your sacrifice and the lengths you went through daily to keep us all safer. God bless your family and the legacy you left. Thank you for the honor I feel to know your story. You are a hero.

Keep up the fight too bad we have to fight for what is right. I would like to purchase one of those T-shirts and I will wear it proudly in California. My son is also a police officer in Oakland California I think about him every time he goes to work it’s very stressful. You are a wonderful daughter keeping your dad‘s memory alive. God bless the police and the United States of America.

Dad,

Today your NYPD family once again carried out their solemn vow to never forget. Vale, one of NYPD’s newest K9 members, graduated the Police Academy. Your grandchildren were there and couldn’t be prouder of you and what your life and sacrifice represented. Your best friends, which go beyond lifelong at this point (40-plus years after your passing), were with us. We are not alone, but I would be lying if I said we aren’t lonely without you.

We love you this much more than around the world. You are truly our hero and inspiration to push forward, do better, do more and appreciate each and every day. We thank a police officer every chance we get with you in mind.

Love you always...

I am honored to have sent a "No parole" letter, so your cowardly killer remains locked up and denied the pleasure of living in a world that you made safe for all of us.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 36th anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

George almost 34 years later you partner for life Nancy will join you. Nancy Caccavale passed away today 3/22/2010.Both of you are heroes. "true heroism is remarkably sober,very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever the cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost."

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
