Reflections for Parole Agent Michael M. Haduck
Agent Haduck,
On today, the 40th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I too, am thankful for finding this site. Huck, Mike's nickname, and I were best friends. Our mothers walked us together on Spring Street. We hunted together, studied together at Bloom, were in each others weddings, skied together, washed cars together. I remember us all being in my dorm room when Mike and my roommate got low numbers in the selective service lottery. They saw each other at Fort Dix, New Jersey. I wrote to Mike when he was stationed at Fort Collins, Colorado. I remember when my dad called and told me of Mike's death. I was teaching about 2 hours away from home. I had to call Mike's dad because I didn't want to believe what he had told me. You never forget losing someone you were so close to. Rest in peace my dear friend. Bill Davies

I did not even know this site was going. Michael Haduck was my father. I never had a chance to know him . He died when I was only 18 months old. Thank you very much for remembering him. It means a lot to me and his wife. Thank you .
Sincerely ,

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 27th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

"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.
