Reflections for Deputy Marshal Barry P. Giglio
This last year has been rough to say the least. Barry didn’t die because he was sick, or even in a car accident. He died doing what he loved to do, trying to protect the community he lived in. As I lay here reading the comments I see the impact he had on so many people. He was a light in a very dark world, and I am so very grateful to have been a recipient of that light for the last 4 years of his life. He left a mark on my life, our families lives, this world and on the town of Ville Platte. Hopefully his years of selfless service to others and the community will not easily be forgotten. I love you! **Lt. Barry Giglio, Ville Platte City Marshal, EOW-07/31/23. **

You saved me twice, once from abuse and the other from heartache. You were a light in this very dark world, and I am so very grateful to have been a recipient of that light and your love. You left a mark on my heart, the lives of others, this world and on the town of Ville Platte that will never be forgotten. Your selfless service did not go unnoticed by others and the community. Thank you for your unending love and support. I love and miss you deeply **Deputy Barry P. Giglio, CM03, Ville Platte City Marshal, EOW 07/31/2023**

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families in our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a law enforcement family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. In Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

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.

O God of Peace, so many of America’s Peace Officers who are on the front lines to protect us never make it back home to their families. We pray for these fallen law enforcement officers, Lord God, who gave their lives for us. We pray for the families of these heroes, who have to now endure life without their loved one. Lord God, society tries to move forward, but there is always bloodshed occurring. We approach Your throne of glory and grace to beg of You for peace. Lord God, bring peace to this land – the United States of America. We plead for Your divine intervention to quiet our hearts and unify our communities. Stop the violence that occurs amid our cities. We thank You for all America’s Peace Officers who have died protecting us, and ask that You send an everlasting peace so that America’s Peace Officers on the streets may be safe and return home to their loved ones at the end of their assigned shifts. In Christ Jesus, Your blessed Son, I pray. Amen.
