Rest in peace Lt. House. A hero forever! Terrible the person who killed you was paroled. A total disgrace of justice.

"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.

Dear Fred, it's been so long since we said our goodbyes and now April and I are back in Utah raising the kids. I drove by the building named in your memory recently and the thoughts came flooding back. Thank you for your fearlessness and friendship, thank you for showing me the "ropes" at Utah State Prison and taking me under you wing until I figured out the criminal mind on my own. I know that we will meet again someday. Until then I will keep the faith. -DW

Lt. House

I taught both of your daughters in school and they have turned out great. I can only hope my kids turn out as polished as your girls. They are both very proud of you for the service to this great state and as their father.

God Bless..

I attended the Fred House training facility today for some training in my program. I couldn’t help but think about how devastated my father was when you were murdered… so I thought I would drop by your web page to see if by chance he had left a thought on your page… I guess my father was not aware of the officer down website before he himself became an honored member. If you see him around up there tell him I miss him and I stopped in to pay my respects.
