Reflections for Patrol Officer Thomas Christian Wilson
On this the 30 Anniversary of your passing brother it seems like yesterday you and I were getting in the car to head to MLEOTA (MS Law Enforcement Officers Training Academy) to the range. Neither of us made it there on that Sunday afternoon, but God decided he need your talents with him and I had to stay for another purpose. I visited you today for our usual talk and spent our usual time quietly reflecting on what might have been. Not a day goes by that you aren't on my mind. A man who is still is never forgotten, never truly dies! Love & Miss you. Rest in peace 187 your brother 189

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 18th anniversary 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.
I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.
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.

I worked with the Clinton Police Dept. from 1996-2002. I never knew Ofc. Wilson but I've heard stories about him from his friends. May God bless those that serve in the Clinton Police Department and may Ofc. Wilson rest in peace.

I've known you since t-ball and still think about you often. To those of us who know you, you'll always be an inspiration. You made your Mom and Dad so proud the way you carried yourself and treated others. I know you're resting peacefully now. You're gone from this Earth but never forgotten.

I do not know you. You just seem so lonely. No one has written to or about you. My brother is on the Clinton Police Force and I am sure that he did know you. I hope that you are in heaven watching us all.
