I worked the Southern District in the Sector that handles Lombard and Carey and I thought about you every time I was near that intersection. I then went to the Western District where you worked and heard nothing but good things about you.

I just want you to know that you are not forgotten.

We now have 2 wonderful grandchildren. Connor, who is now 3 years old and a very handsome intelligent child and on August 9, 2010 we were blessed with a beautiful little girl, Riley Elizabeth. It hurt that we cannot share together this gift but I know you are watching over them. Always in my heart...

Last night I attended the Candlelight Ceremony in Washington, DC. Honoring all law enforcement officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. This is truly beautiful. Thousands of family, friends, surviving fellow officers, and dignitaries are there holding lit candles. I honor all those who have died especially my loving husband.

Bill and Mary thank you for your kind words. Jimmy was a wonderful guy. I guess that is why I never found anyone I wanted to be with after his murder. My girls are a wonderful adult women and I am blessed to have a great son-in-law and an handsome 15 month old grandson.

The parole hearing of John Earl Williams was canceled that's to all the letters written. Williams withdrew his request.

I continue to work with survivors being a member and past president of the Baltimore City Police Memorial Board. Just last Nove 5th, I attended the 10 year Memorial Service for Flight Officer Barry W. Wood. Martha, his wife, is now my dear friend. Barry along with all our fallen heros, spouses, and family will always be apart of my heart.

God Bless You All,

Jimmy, I still remember that day in April 1976 like today. Mary and I think of you often. Baltimore on that day lost a real hero and friend to many.

Angie, we will never forget.

It has been awhile since I last checked Jimmy's page. Thank you all for your kind words. I have much news both wonderful and unacceptable.

Connor James, the new arrival to our family was born on August 23, 2007. Jimmy would have been so proud of his grandson. Connor will only know his grandfather from photos and what we tell him as it was the same for his daughter, Amanda, the mother of Connor. But, I promise Jimmy, he will make you proud.

On June 6, I will be going to the Parole Hearing of John Earl Williams, who because of our system is eligible for parole. I will do everything in my power to keep this low life where he belongs. Many letters have gone out on Jimmy's behalf from all over the country and even overseas, asking the Parole Commission to deny William's parole. I want to thank all of you who have written letters. For those who have not, please check out the FOP Lodge 3 Baltimore City webpage for a letter that can be downloaded and signed.

Once again, thank you and God Bless you all.

While I read these other reflections I sit here with tears in my eyes. I came upon this page while helping my son do a project on his grandfather, Retired Officer Robert L. Brown. My dad was there on the night Officer Halcomb was shot and assisted in the suspects arrest.There was a article in the Sun paper with my dad arresting the suspect. My son remembers me showing him the article and telling him the story of what happened and how "pop Pop"was involved. He came home yeasterday and said he had to do a project on memories, the first thing he said is can I get a copy of the newspaper when Off. Halcomb was shot. So I found the artical my mom had saved and wanted to get some more info on it when I happened upon this site. My heart goes out to Off. Halcomb's family. Thank you officer Halcomb for paying the ultimate sacafic while protecting the citizens of Baltimore. God Bless Retired Officer Missie Edick (eastern district)

"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.

As I write this I am 31 years old, the same age you were when paid the ultimate sacrifice. I see that your EOW was just 8 days before I was born. Now a 10 year veteren and a father of 2 your ultimate sacrifice reminds me of why I kiss my wife and boys every night. May god bless you and your family. Thank you for your service.

We ask Thy blessings and eternal rest to all our brothers and sisters
Who have sacrificed their very lives in the performance of
their duties. Give their loved ones the peace and
Strength to bear the anguish of their loss. Remove all
resentment from their hearts, knowing that eternal
peace and rest will abide their departed loved ones
forever. This we beg, Thy name forever and ever,
Amen.
