Patrolman DeSues:

May Your Soul Rest-In-Peace.

Years ago, I did a radio show regarding the WWII Era Port Chicago Explosion (California Bay Area). The incident in Roseburg was almost as devestating.

For fellow historians: A recent film entitled "THE ROSEBURG BLAST: A Catastrophe and Its Heroes," narrated by ABC national correspondent, Barry Serafin, (who was a Roseburg teenager at the time), can be found via PBS.....

Our thoughts and prayers go out to This Officer, as well as the Family, Friends, Department and Community.

This is a loss that will never be forgotten. Hours will turn into days, days turn into weeks, weeks into months and months into years but, the difference that these officers have made will last forever.

We lost Our Deputy Morris Taylor on September 14, 2002. When he joined the other Angels in Blue.

God Bless Our Law Enforcement Officers and Those Who Love Them.
