I sit and read the reflections left for all you Blue Angels and I am in awe of the strength and courage of you all and that of your loved ones left to continue their lives without your physical presence.

I shall light your candle for you as always. No matter where in the world I happen to be, for your candle will alway be shining for you .

Officer Wisdom, thank you for your service and dedication. 15 years just doesn't seem like justice! Continue to watch over your family and friends. Rest in peace.

"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.

Hey partner,
Its been a tough week here with the loss of yet another fine young man, whom Im sure you have by now met. His name was Dewayne Freeto and he died as you did, helping a citizen with a flat tire. You and Hank can show the rookie around. I saw your Mom tonight at the funeral home where Freeto's visitation was held, we agreed that this one brought back way too many bad memories. I miss you alot buddy. You would laugh if you could see me now, I have taken over as the instructor/trainer in the K9 Unit...after all these years of dodging being a responsible adult I find myself trapped in that role now..(man the paperwork sucks) I always wonder what role you would have ended up here had things been different, what unit would you have settled into. I know you would have been a star in whatever one you picked. Kirk is doing good, I see him around from time to time. We all miss you, and we all love you.
I'll be seeing you.
Brad

I cannot believe that this person received only 15 years in jail for robbing a family of a husband and father. My heart goes out to this family because I lost my husband two years ago and feel their pain.

Promotion

The officer stood in the Chief's office, his eyes blinded by the brilliant light that appeared after that brief moment of darkness.
He hoped his uniform looked clean and pressed, that his boots shone.
Suddenly a large and friendly Hand was placed on his shoulder.
'Ah, here you are.Welcome to your new PD.I have had my eye on you for some time.You are fine Officer and I knew it was time to promote you to My Department.
'Sir, the young Officers voice trembled 'I am honored but what can I do here?There is no crime, no felons to chase.Why do you need officers here?'
'Ah', said The Lord,' its not here you are to patrol but down below'
The young officer looked puzzled but the Chief took him to His office window.
'See that young rookie?He will serve me fine one day but he needs you to be his FTO, to remind him to wear his vest, to careful on traffic stops,some one to ride with him and keep guard as he learns.And see that officer next to him?He needs you to help him stay cheerful, to help him encourage your other brother officers to continue to protect and serve. To hold the the line .'
'Yes Sir, I see, but who will look after my family?
'You will ' said the Chief.'Its a undercover assignment.They will not see or hear you except in their dreams but you will be with them 24/7.They will feel your love around them at all times, the gentle feel of your breath on their cheeks , the warmth of your smile when they need cheering.You will be with them as they carry out their daily tasks and you will watch over them as they sleep.They will never be parted from you or you from them'.
The officer smiled and started his new watch.
