Chuck,
It's hard to believe, but next week will be 40 years since your death. I've tried to honor your life by helping the widows and families of retired SDPS members with the "details" of former PSOs passing away. I've never known another friendship like ours, nor will I. It was an honor to serve with you, I think of you often, and wonder why.

A coward dies a thousand deaths and a hero only dies once. Officer Fraker we will remember this day when a real american hero died. Thank you for your service sir, rest in peace.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the thirty-third anniversary week 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

I hope to someday meet your family at one of the Northern California COPS meetings.

Chuck,

You have been gone from our lives for 32 years but you have never been forgotten in our hearts. Our daughters are now grown and you have 2 grandsons and a grandaughter. You would be proud to see what wonderful young women they have become. I will make sure they never forget the father that loved them so much.

Love,
Michelle

"All gave some, some gave all"

Deputy W. Corey Johnson
Putnam County, FL

January 16, 2008

"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.

No officer that gave his life should be without reflection……
